Alexander Pope > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'd/ What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd;/ Something whose truth convinced at sight we find,/ That gives us back the image of our mind./ As shades more sweetly recommend the light,/ So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit.”
