Music resembles poetry, in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach, And which a master hand alone can reach.
Alexander PopePresumptuous Man! the reason wouldst thou find,Why form'd so weak, so little, and so blind?First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess,Why form'd no weaker, blinder, and no less!Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are madeTaller or stronger than the weeds they shade?Or ask of yonder argent fields above,Why Jove's Satellites are less than Jove?
Alexander PopeMan, like the generous vine, supported lives; the strength he gains is from the embrace he gives.
