Alexander Pope
Image
Why has not Man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly. Say what the use, were finer optics giv'n, T' inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n.

Who pants for glory, finds but short repose A breath revives him, or a breath o'erthrows.

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