To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To discuss Welsh prosody at length, is both beyond my scope and abilities, while asking my readers to accept cum grano salis, the declamations by a certain class about the poverty of the literature until they feel able to form a judgment of their own. If there is one thing more ^than another, noticeable about Welsh poetry from a general point of view, that is, its realistic power. Under its influences the sky lowers more darkly, the lightning flashes more vividly, the thunder rolls more heavily..., the tempest tossed ocean dashes itself against the rugged rocks more awfully and more grandly, the brook murmurs more sweetly, the lark ''pours forth a clearer note, and springs up to the heavens more lightly, the peaceful and the calm of nature, the light and the shade, the stupendous and the vast, as well as the minute and the insig- nificant seem to be brought out in bolder relief, and in language that is at once more expressive and harmonious than we are accustomed to in English. Whether the bard describes the lily or the rose, a drop of dew, or a dashing waterfall, spring-time or winter, the efl'ect of the wild wind of the mountains, or the soft breezes of sunmier, and whether he is talented or not, a very genius, or common place, his language almost invariably lends an intangible charm to his subject.
