Beauty that shocks you, parts ...

Beauty that shocks you, parts that none will trust, Wit that can creep, and pride that licks the dust.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The soul, uneasy and confin'd ...

The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

To dazzle let the vain design,...

To dazzle let the vain design, To raise the thought and touch the heart, be thine!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

In every work regard the write...

In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Let opening roses knotted oaks...

Let opening roses knotted oaks adorn, And liquid amber drop from every thorn.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

chaos of thought and passion, ...

chaos of thought and passion, all confus'd.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Content if hence th' unlearn'd their wants may view, The learn'd reflect on what before they knew.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The bookful blockhead ignorant...

The bookful blockhead ignorantly read, With loads of learned lumber in his head, With his own tongue still edifies his ears, And always list'ning to himself appears. All books he reads, and all he reads assails.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Here hills and vales, the wood...

Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused: Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

A perfect Judge will read each...

A perfect Judge will read each work of Wit
With the same spirit that its author writ:
Survey the Whole, nor seek slight faults to find
Where nature moves, and rapture warms the mind.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

I lose my patience, and I own ...

I lose my patience, and I own it too,
When works are censur'd, not as bad but new;
While if our Elders break all reason's laws,
These fools demand not pardon but Applause.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

And you, my Critics! in the ch...

And you, my Critics! in the chequer'd shade,
Admire new light thro' holes yourselves have made.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Cavil you may, but never criti...

Cavil you may, but never criticise.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Oh! if to dance all night, and...

Oh! if to dance all night, and dress all day,
Charm'd the small-pox, or chas'd old age away;
. . . .
To patch, nay ogle, might become a saint,
Nor could it sure be such a sin to paint.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Hope springs eternal in the hu...

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be Blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rest and expatiates in a life to come.
Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutor'd mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;
His soul proud Science never taught to stray
Far as the solar walk or milky way;
Yet simple Nature to his hope has giv'n,
Behind the cloud-topp'd hill, an humbler heav'n.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Genuine religion is not so muc...

Genuine religion is not so much a matter of feeling as a matter of principle.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Nay, fly to altars; there they...

Nay, fly to altars; there they'll talk you dead; For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Chaos of thought and passion, ...

Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled,- The glory, jest, and riddle of the world.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Oh! be thou blest with all tha...

Oh! be thou blest with all that Heaven can send, Long health, long youth, long pleasure-and a friend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Fly, dotard, fly! With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.
