To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' " Indeed, the poet of poets to him — Shakespeare, witli much reluct- ance, excepted — was " Eabbie " Burns.
The publication of The Life Drama, as has been said, raised the poet into instant fame ; and, when it is recollected that at the time of its publi- cation he was not more than two-and-twenty, this was, no doubt, a marvellous achievement. In estimating the works of men as works, we apply the more abstract standard ; but in estimating a 206 ALEXANDER SMITH essay career, it is well to paus...e and remember the cir- cumstances under which the given results are produced. It is true that Alfred Tennyson was young when he first began to publish his verse, but the youthful opportunities of Tennyson far exceeded those of Alexander Smith. An early life of education and leisure in a rural parsonage was passed under the influence of a father, himself a man of great accomplishments and learning.
The seven elins — the poplars four, That stood beside his father's door, grew in the sweet air of the tranquil wolds where " every sound is sweet, " where the doves moan in " firry woodlands, " and the brook, with its " matted cress and ribbed sand, " winds among anemones and violet-banks — beauties worthily celebrated in his Ode to Memory, and not exaggerated by the poet's fancy.
