To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Therefore, when one comes to apply the principle brought out by Lessing, he must be careful to bear in mind that the question to be asked is not whether the conception to be expressed was de- rived from a form appearing in time or in space, but whether, as it has affected the mind, it can be represented to others in time or in space. With this interpretation of the theory, no reasonable objection can be urged against it. On the contrary, very slight examination, either of poetry or of painting,... will reveal the great importance of regarding the principle to which it gives expression. For instance, in speaking of the plan of his "Excursion," Wordsworth, in several places, tells us that his conception of it was that of a cathedral to which his minor poems should stand related like chapels opening from the aisles. In other words, he acknowledges that a method of thought or expression not natural to poetry, but to another art, an art, too, neces- sitating a body filling space, was present to his mind when considering the general form of his poem.
