“A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.”

English poet of the early 18th century, Alexander Pope is best known for his witty, satirical verse and masterful translations of classical works. His most celebrated works include *The Rape of the Lock*, *The Dunciad*, and *An Essay on Criticism*, which established his reputation as a leading voice in Augustan literature.
