Aurora now, fair daughter of the dawn, Sprinkled with rosy light the dewy lawn.
Alexander Pope
Image
Oh, sons of earth! attempt ye still to rise. By mountains pil'd on mountains to the skies? Heav'n still with laughter the vain toil surveys, And buries madmen in the heaps they raise.
Alexander Pope
