| ALEXANDER POPE |
| (1688-1744) |
| A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul. All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. Love, free as air at sight of human ties, Spread his light wings, and in a moment flies. 'Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall. |
