Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light! Alexander Pope
True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'dWhat oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd; Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit. Alexander Pope
Nor public flame, nor private, dares to shine; Nor human spark is left, nor glimpse divine! Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored; Light dies before thy uncreating word: Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall; And universal darkness buries all. Alexander Pope
