Dear fatal name! rest ever unreveal'd, Nor pass these lips in holy silence seal'd. Hide it, my heart, within that close disguise, Where mixed with Gods, his lov'd idea lies: O write it not, my hand - the name appears Already written - wash it out, my tears! In vain lost Eloisa weeps and prays, Her heart still dictates, and her hand obeyes.

Some to conceit alone their taste confine, And glittering thoughts struck out at ev'ry line Pleas'd with a work where nothing's just or fit One glaring chaos and wild heap of wit.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fondly we think we honor merit then, when we but praise ourselves in other men.
Alexander Pope
Image
Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius without taste, genius is only sublime folly.
Alexander Pope
Image
The cabinets of the sick and the closets of the dead have been ransacked to publish private letters and divulge to all mankind the most secret sentiments of friendship.
Alexander Pope
Image
You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.
Alexander Pope

Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise.
