Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate.
Alexander Pope
Image
Praise is like ambergrease: a little whiff of it, and by snatches, is very agreeable but when a man holds a whole lump of it to your nose, it is a stink, and strikes you down.
Alexander Pope
Image
On her white breast a sparkling cross she wore, Which Jews might kiss and infidels adore.
