To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let us recognise and hail in these days the strong and noble harmony of the great century. Without Boileau, and without Louis XIV, who regarded Boileau as his Controller-General of Parnassus, what would have happened ? Would the great talents themselves have fully rendered all that now forms their most solid heritage of glory? Racine, I fear, would have made another Berenice; La Fontaine fewer Fables and more Contes ; Moliere himself might have stayed longer with his Scapins and might never hav...e risen to the stern heights of the Misanthrope. In a word, each of those great geniuses would have yielded more to his defects. Boileau, that is to say, the good JBoilcau. 281 sense of the critic-poet, authorised and backed by that of the great king, restrained them all, and com- pelled them, by his respected presence, to do their best and gravest works. Know you what it is that, in our day, is lacking to our poets, so full at their start of natural faculties and happy inspirations and promises?
