To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Higher arts Subsist on freedom — eccentricity — Uncounted inspirations — influence That comes with drinking, gambling, talk turned wild, Then moody misery and lack of food — With every dithyrambic fine excess : These make at last a storm which flashes out In hghtning revelations. Steady work Turns genius to a loom ; the soul must lie Like grapes beneath the sun till ripeness comes And mellow vintage. I could paint you now The finest Crucifixion ; yesternight Returning home I saw it on a sky Blu...e-black, thick-starred. I want two louis d'ors To buy the canvas and the costly blues — Trust me a fortnight." " Where are those last two I lent thee for thy Judith ? — her thou saw'st In saffron gown, with Holofernes' head , And beauty all complete ? " " She is but sketched ; I lack the proper model — and the mood. A great idea is an eagle's Qgg, Craves time for hatching ; while the eagle sits Feed her." " If thou wilt call thy pictures eggs I call the hatching, Work. 'Tis God gives skill, But not without men's hands ; He could not make Antonio Stradivari's violins Without Antonio.
