Pope Adrian I

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or adrian:

    True wit is Nature to advantage dressed,
    What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed;
    Something whose truth convinced at sight we find,
    That gives us back the image of our mind.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    My beautiful, my own
    My only Venice—this is breath! Thy breeze
    Thine Adrian sea-breeze, how it fans my face!
    Thy very winds feel native to my veins,
    And cool them into calmness!
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
