Ye flowers that drop, forsaken...

Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring,
Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove,
Say, is not absence death to those who love?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Is that a birthday? 'tis, alas...

Is that a birthday? 'tis, alas! too clear; 'Tis but the funeral of the former year.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

At present we can only reason ...

At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man. When we are in other scenes, we may have truer and nobler ideas of it; but while we are in this life, we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

See skulking Truth to her old ...

See skulking Truth to her old cavern fled, Mountains of Casuistry heap'd o'er her head! Philosophy, that lean'd on Heav'n before, Shrinks to her second cause, and is no more. Physic of Metaphysic begs defence, And Metaphysic calls for aid on Sense! See Mystery to Mathematics fly!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Where London's column, pointin...

Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

A naked lover bound and bleedi...

A naked lover bound and bleeding lies!

Consult the Genius of the Place in all.

Let fortune do her worst, whatever she makes us lose, so long as she never makes us lose our honesty and our independence.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Our plenteous streams a various race supply, The bright-eyed perch with fins of Tyrian dye, The silver eel, in shining volumes roll'd, The yellow carp, in scales bedropp'd with gold, Swift trouts, diversified with crimson stains, And pikes, the tyrants of the wat'ry plains.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Whatever is, is right....

Whatever is, is right.

Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound, Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Lo! the poor Indian! whose unt...

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.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Index-learning turns no studen...

Index-learning turns no student pale,
Yet holds the eel of Science by the tail.
Index-learning is a term used to mock pretenders who acquire superficial knowledge merely by consulting indexes.

To teach vain Wits that Science little known,
T' admire Superior Sense, and doubt their own!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Trace Science, then, with Mode...

Trace Science, then, with Modesty thy guide,
First strip off all her equipage of Pride,
Deduct what is but Vanity or Dress,
Or Learning's Luxury or idleness,
Or tricks, to show the stretch of the human brain
Mere curious pleasure or ingenious pain.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Why did I write? whose sin to ...

Why did I write? whose sin to me unknown
Dipt me in ink, my parents', or my own?
As yet a child, nor yet a fool to fame,
I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Know, Nature's children all divide her care, The fur that warms a monarch warmed a bear.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The Physician, by the study and inspection of urine and ordure, approves himself in the science; and in like sort should our author accustom and exercise his imagination upon the dregs of nature.
