To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand, it cannot but seem strangely appropriate to one who appreciates the literary qualities of the poems contained in the volume and the etymological history of the two words prosa and profana. In his study of the Old Span- ish poets Dario became familiar with their use of prosa in the sense of "poem in the vernacular." He knew, too, the sequences or proses, Latin hymns that resulted from the setting of words to the music following the Alleluia in the Roman Catholic liturgy, a pra...ctice that became popular in the early 10th century. That the title was suggested by these sacred proses of the liturgy is clearly indicated by the second element, profanas, that is, "not sacred." This con- jectural explanation of the title and the literary qualities already' noted in the poetry indicate its appropriateness. Just as the litur- gical hymns, the "sacred proses," broke away from the quantitative meters of Latin verse and came to depend for their rhythms upon accent, so the "profane proses" of Dario broke away from conven- tionahty in form and content.
