False happiness is like false money; it passes for · Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope

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.
