Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things
To low ambition and the pride of kings.
Let us (since life can little more supply
Than just to look about us, and to die)
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man;
A mighty maze! but not without a plan.
-- Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
-- Essay on Man, Epistle i, Line 1
