To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The nature of the symbol is not fixed as it is in the case of narrative and dramatic literature.
Each writer must find the appropriate symbols for his own thought and feeling. As in lyric poetry, the symbol may sustain different re- lations to the thought and* emotion. It may embody them, as in the case of most litera- ture ; it may reflect or illustrate them ; or it may suggest them. The business of the literary student is to determine in each case what the symbols are and how they are re- lat
...ed to the thought and emotion. In doing this for any particular work, he will have analyzed the ideal element, and will have stated its various conceptions.
