To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I dwell thus at length upon the aristocratic elegance of De Quincey'searliest surroundings, (which, coming at a later period, I should noticemerely as an accident, ) because, although not a _potential_ element, capable of producing or of adding one single iota to the essentialcharacter of genius, it is yet a negative condition--a _sine quanon_--to the displays of genius in certain directions and under certainaspects. By misfortune it is true that power may be intensified. So mayit by the baptis...m of malice. But, given a certain degree of power, therestill remains a question as to its _kind_. So deep is the sky: but ofwhat _hue_, of what aspect? Wine is strong, and so is the crude alcoholbut what the _mellowness_? And the blood in our veins, it is an infiniteforce: but of what temper? Is it warm, or is it cold? Does it ministerto Moloch, or to Apollo? Will it shape the Madonna face, or the Medusa?Why, the simple fact that the rich blue sky over-arches this earth ofours, or that it is warm blood which flows in our veins, is sufficientto prove that no malignant Ahriman made the world.
