Alexander Pope on Providence
← Back to Alexander Pope Profile
“Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies.”
“Destroy all creatures for thy sport or gust, Yet cry, if man's unhappy, God's unjust.”
“Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees.”
“Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.”
