A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.Alexander Pope
Plays round the head, but comes not to the heart. One self-approving hour whole years outweighs Of stupid starers and of loud huzzas And more true joy Marcellus exil'd feels Than Csar with a senate at his heels. In parts superior what advantage lies Tell (for you can) what is it to be wise 'T is but to know how little can be known To see all others' faults, and feel our own.
Alexander Pope
Heav'n first taught letters for some wretch's aid,
Some banish'd lover, or some captive maid;
They live, they speak, they breathe what love inspires,
Warm from the soul, and faithful to its fires,
The virgin's wish without her fears impart,
Excuse the blush, and pour out all the heart,
Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul,
And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.
Alexander Pope
