To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" * As for himself, indeed, he requires for his glory no more than he already enjoys as one of the most magnificent geniuses of modern times. The author of this biography will not venture a char- acteristique of Tegner as a poet, nor indeed does it neces- sarily belong to the task he has chosen. But the opinion of that bard himself, as to the causes of his own popularity, must doubly tend to excite our attention, as characteristic both of his muse and of himself. I hasten, therefore, to insert ...his own observations on this subject: " The Swede, like the Frenchman, prefers in poetry the light, the clear and the transparent. The profound, indeed, he demands, and values also; but it must be a depth that is pellucid. He wishes that he may see the gold sands at the bottom of the wave. "Whatever is dark and muddy, so that it cannot give him any distinct image, let it be as far fetched as it may, he cannot suffer. He believes that Th' obscurely utter'd is th' obscurely thought, t and clearness is a necessary condition for whatever shall produce any effect upon him.
