Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool; But you usually may serve to show it That every fool is not a poet. - Pope

“A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.” ― Alexander Pope
I have finally, after 35 years, completed my nine volume set of the collected writings of #AlexanderPope today
They were published in 1753, so I felt justified in playing a long game

So, this unholy marriage of falsehood and truth ain't nothing new. Alexander Pope wielding his mighty and skilful couplets in The Temple of Fame.

Alexander Pope became one of the most quotable poets in English history. From biting satire to timeless lines like “To err is human,” Pope proved that wit and wisdom don’t need permission—or perfect health—to endure.

“Blest, who can unconcernedly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind;
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed, sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.”

How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d

"A little learning is a dang'rous thing.
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring..."
📖 #OTD in the #History of #Literature 15 May 1711, poet #AlexanderPope (22) published, anonymously, his influential work "An Essay on Criticism," a didactic poem in heroic couplets.
I think it’s time we considered that Alexander Pope was most likely autistic, and his special interest was organizing and disseminating writing styles. Pattern recognition and then obsessing over the order of it all. #Booksky #Literaturesky #AlexanderPope
