To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let the moralist, who stands upon "tufted carpet, " and surveys his smoking board, the fruits of his individual toil or mercantile adventure, pause before he let the anathema, trembling upon his lips, fall upon a man like Poe, who, wandering from publisher to publisher, with his fine, print-like manuscript, scrupulously clean and neatly rolled, finds no market for his brain — with despair at heart, misery ahead, for himself and his loved ones, and gaunt famine dogging at his heels, thus sinks b...y the wayside, before the demon that watches his steps and whispers oblivion. Of all the miseries which God, or his own vices, inflict upon man, none are so terrible as that of having the strong and willing arm struck down to a childlike inefiiciency, while the Heart and the Will have the purpose of a giant's out-doing We must remember, too, that the very organiza- tion of such a mind as that of Poe — the very tension and tone of his exquisitely strung nerves — GRAHAM'S VINDICATION. 261 the passionate yearnings of his soul for the beautiful and true, utterly unfitted him for the rude jostlings and fierce competitorship of trade.
