I am also a school age student, and a would agree that it is a very poor set text. While his descriptions of nature and intensity of feelings are unarguably beautiful, his portrayal of human feelings is unrealistically intense, all the time. Not only this, but his style of writing lays it all before the reader on a plate, and does not leave you with anything to work out for yourself other than the contrived allusions our teacher is so fond of.
