Alexander Pope. (№ 282625)
In his slip of the tongue you were right
Nature is not you. Most.
We are not to become entangled in the signs,
You divide into blondes and brunettes.
<...>
Our variegated friend, like flowers.
Not whether diversity is the root of beauty?
And even the delicate flaws
Their ardent admirers welcome.
<...>
However, the life of men is reputed public,
And women succeed in their personal.
Our talents need a light day
And your becoming to partial shade.
You are a true child of the masquerade
Where shame and pride to distinguish is not necessary,
Delight and weakness... valor and Vice,
Same to you, never to rebuke.
Quote Explanation: Translated By V. Toporov.
