To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was meaning to give all time and alleternity to poetry, and I should by no means have wished to find pleasurein it; I should have thought that a proof of inferior quality in thework; I should have preferred anxiety, anguish even, to pleasure. But ifEmerson thought from the glance he gave my verses that I had better notlavish myself upon that kind of thing, unless there was a great deal moreof me than I could have made apparent in our meeting, no doubt he wasright. I was only too painfully awa...re of my shortcoming, but I felt thatit was shorter-coming than it need have been. I had somehow notprospered in my visit to Emerson as I had with Hawthorne, and I came awaywondering in what sort I had gone wrong. I was not a forth-puttingyouth, and I could not blame myself for anything in my approaches thatmerited withholding; indeed, I made no approaches; but as I must needsblame myself for something, I fell upon the fact that in my confusedretreat from Emerson's presence I had failed in a certain slight point ofceremony, and I magnified this into an offence of capital importance.
