Aphoristic Dangers of Alexander Pope

If "imitation is the most sincere compliment" then, after his death for more than 250 years, Alexander should be one of the most flattering writers ever. His works were interpreted about all possible phrases and spread to calendar pages and wit books around the world. The beauty of his charming maxims is that they try not only to memorize but also to convey his philosophy with perfect poetic creativity. Unfortunately, he achieved the goal of "more enthusiastic pursuit of the reader" (Man 2527) better. His words are easy to preserve, the most obvious is brief but there are also bad effects.

You may have heard the phrase "It is dangerous to learn a little". This is an article on criticism written in Poems of Alexander Pope created in 1709. The Pope wrote: "It is dangerous to learn a bit; it tastes a spring that is very deeply drunk or not a Pierian: There is a shallow draft that makes the brain drunk, and drinking will surprise us again." What do you mean? In fact, the Pope misunderstood to think that we know a lot more than it actually is, just to confuse a little learning and knowledge ("shallow draft") ("get drunk the brain"), I will let you. The remedy for this problem is to continue learning ("Pearian Spring" 's "Large Drinking", Muse' s Holy Spring, the Source of Knowledge of Art and Science). However, the views expressed in these verses are much faster than in the 18th century. It may be back thousands of years ago

In the spring of 1688, Pope Alexandre was born to Alexandre and Edith 's only child. He converted to older pope, linen, and recently Catholic, he immediately transferred his family from London to Binfield, Binfield. His biographer, John Spenss, expressed it as a "particularly sweet child", whose voice was very melodic, known as "Little Nightingale", the pope of the child and later violent and open-minded morality It was. There is little similarity between the two. Poetry could not attend public school because of his religious beliefs, and most of them were self taught. He taught me French, Italian, Latin and Greek myself and I read it widely, but I found Homer at the age of six.

Alexander Pope was born in London, England on May 21, 1688, was born in Alexandria and Edith Pope. His Roman Catholic father is a hemp merchant. His family left London in about 1700 and settled in Binfield in the Windsor Forest. The Pope has not received formal education. Through extensive study and reading, he educates himself, especially through poetry. Although the Pope was healthy and full of infancy in his childhood, he became severe at the end of childhood and slightly deformed the body - he did not grow to more than 4 feet 6 inches. He needs to be wearing a hard canvas stand with his spine bent. He often has a headache. His appearance is often ridiculed by his enemies who favorably giving papal cynics (humor for human weakness), but his feelings for many of his friends are always warm and generous .
