Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Let opening roses knotted oaks adorn, And liquid amber drop from every thorn.

Be not the first by whom the new are tired, nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

Lull'd in the countless chambers of the brain, Our thoughts are link'd by many a hidden chain. Awake but one, and lo, what myriads rise! Each stamps its image as the other flies!
