To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I repeat, that moral demonstrativeness and poetry do not go well together. A poet's conscience of virtue is better kept to himself, save as the sense and spirit thereof silently in- sinuate themselves into the shapings of his hand, and so live as an undercurrent in the natural course of truth and beauty. If he has the genius and the heart to see and to represent things just as they really are, his moral teaching cannot but be good , and the less it stands out as a special aim, the more efiectiv...e it will be : but if, for any purpose, however moral, he goes to representing things otherwise than as they are, then just so far his moral teaching will 244 Shakespeare's aet. miss its mark ; and if he takes, as divers well-nieaning per- sons liave done, to flourishing his ethical robes in our faces, then he must be content to pass with us for something less or something more than a poet : we may still read him in- deed from a mistaken sense of duty ; but we shall never be drawn to him by an unsophisticated love of the Beautiful and the True.
