1615 - 1668
Nationality: British
Category: Politician
Subcategory: British Politician
|  Poetry is of so subtle a spirit, that in the pouring out of one language into another it will evaporate. | | Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use. | | Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid. | | Nor ought a genius less than his that writ attempt translation. | | Youth, what man's age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know. | | We are never like angels till our passion dies. |
