So what? You fags don't read Pope?

Shakespeare
>everything you've ever read, heard or thought

Is "blaze of glory" a Pope Original? It's in his Iliad

Yes

Was Pope an incel though?

that wasnt a thing before the 90s

>>I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day
that's hopkins

the term maybe not, but incels existed throughout all history.

Hopkins took that from Pope

you're fucking with me, right? i can't find anything on it

If this thread's still up when I'm off work I'll look for it

>The cradle rocks above an abyss etc
That's the first sentence in Speak, Memory by Nabokov. If you think that was written in the 18th century you need to read more. Same is true for the "some sort of pressure" line, definitely 20th century.

*17th century
Nabokov took it from one of Pope's letters to a female friend. The other is a translation from Pope's latin Tarkovsky employed. You seem to be ignorant of the fact that Pope is the most quoted writer in the English language aside from MAYBE Shakespeare/Neville.

>17th century
nice bait
>Nabokov took it from one of Pope's letters to a female friend
Prove it, coward

That is not my job. His letters are readily available in paperback and hardcover formats.

Thought so, poop poster. Have fun

He absolutely was, when you’re 4’6” you’re never going to make it with a woman and Pope felt this acutely.

Pope had several female friends and was quite lewd with them

>17th century

It’s easy to have close female friends when they consider you a sexless dwarf lmao

Keep seething junkie. Need another hit?

I’m not seething, just pointing out that Pope really had it rough as far as romance goes. Poor guy.

He was a manlet with a crooked spine. Take a guess
