To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many advised him to try the saleof trinkets and drapery, or of pills and 'patent medicines, ' instead ofpoetry; while others went so far as to recommend him to become anitinerant musician. Having traversed the country in all directions, suffering from want and fatigue, and, more still, from insults, and notgaining enough, to purchase the coarsest food, he at last began to seethe utter uselessness of persevering further in his new occupation. However, as a last attempt to succeed, he inserted a ...few advertisementsin the 'Stamford News, ' informing the public that he was selling his ownpoems at his cottage at Helpston. This step was taken by Mr. Taylor'sadvice, Clare having informed his publisher of the failure of all hisformer operations. The announcement in the 'Stamford News' did not remainaltogether without result, though its immediate effect was ratherunprofitable, the poet being visited by a number of strangers, chieflyelderly ladies from the neighbouring towns, who were kind enough to takehis books upon credit, and never ceased being creditors.
