Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

What beck'ning ghost, along the moonlight shade Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?

The flying Rumours gather'd as they roll'd, Scarce any Tale was sooner heard than told; And all who told it, added something new, And all who heard it, made Enlargements too, In ev'ry Ear it spread, on ev'ry Tongue it grew.

The fool is happy that he knows no more

let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me die; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie. - Alexander Pope
