To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Are not our tests really too easy?
Must we not require, besides emotion, a considerable amount of positive intellectual power in every writer whose work is worthy to be called literary? We have already fore- stalled these questions, and partly answered them, by citing the case of Poe's Ulalume, and we might fortify ourselves by quoting much from M. Victor Hugo, whom some of us regard as the greatest poet since Goethe, and from Hugo's English admirer, Mr. Swin- burne. None of these poets has eve...r pro- duced anything that is not literary in a very real and sometimes a very high sense; but they have all been capable of writing a good deal of undoubted poetry that required very little exercise of the strictly intellectual powers for its production. Our illustrations might be greatly extended, more particularly of course in the field of poetry, where pure 182 THE NATURE OF LITERATURE emotion can sustain itself better than in prose without what we may call intellectual vitaliz- ing; but we have said enough for our pur- pose.
