Latent text analysis (lsa package) using whole documents in R

Question

I have a code that successfully performs Latent Text Analysis on short citations using the lsa package in R (see below). However, I would rather like to use this method on text from larger documents. Copy-pasting the whole thing in each citation space is highly inefficient -- it works, but takes an eternity to run. Is there any way I could directly import each "citation" (in this case, document) from a database or a dataframe? If so, in what format should it be? Txt format documents are automatically separated into paragraphs when imported into R, and I am unsure that this is compatible with the analysis performed by the lsa package.

# Load requisite packages
library(tm)
library(ggplot2)
library(lsa)

# Include citations (THIS IS WHERE I WOULD NEED HELP)
text <- c(

  "while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out",
  "you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company’s employees to keep buying it",
  "This is a reminder of Enron’s Email retention policy. The Email retention policy provides as follows . . .",
  "Furthermore, it is against policy to store Email outside of your Outlook Mailbox and/or your Public Folders. Please do not copy Email onto floppy disks, zip disks, CDs or the network.",
