A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep · Alexander Pope

Some are bewilder’d in the maze of schools, And so

A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.

Alexander Pope

1688-05-21 — 1744-05-30 · Londres

Alexander Pope was a towering figure of English Neoclassical literature, renowned for his sharp wit, satirical genius, and masterful command of the heroic couplet. A key figure of the Augustan age, his poetry often explored moral and philosophical themes with clarity, elegance, and precision. His translations of Homer and his original works remain cornerstones of English poetry, celebrated for their intellectual rigor and polished style.
