Pope Air Force

Famous quotes containing the words pope, air and/or force:

    Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
    Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “With your air indifferent and imperious
    At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
    And—”Are we then so serious?”

    Here undoubtedly lies the chief poetic energy:Min the force of imagination that pierces or exalts the solid fact, instead of floating among cloud-pictures.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
