An Essay on Criticism (1711) is a remarkable poem written by the remarkable British poet Alexander Pope, at the age of only 23.
It contains three fabulous and very famous lines:
- “To err is human; to forgive, divine”
- “A little learning is a dang'rous thing”
“For fools rush in where angels fear to tread”
