Alexander Pope on Mail
← Back to Alexander Pope Profile
“Soon as thy letters trembling I unclose, That well-known name awakens all my woes.”
“Heav'n first taught letters for some wretch's aid, Some banish'd lover, or some captive maid.”
“Line after line my gushing eyes o'erflow, Led thro' a sad variety of woe: Now warm in love, now with'ring in my bloom, Lost in a convent's solitary gloom!”
