Oh, Madness, Pride, Impiety!
(Essay On Man)
More Quotes from 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
Men dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
Alexander Pope
Vital spark of heavenly flame.
Alexander Pope
Yes, I am proud I must be proud to see Men not afraid of God, afraid of me.
Alexander Pope
So very reasonable, so unmov'd,
As never yet to love, or to be lov'd.
Alexander Pope
Yet here for ever, ever must I stay;
Sad proof how well a lover can obey!
Alexander Pope
