Notable and Quotable–Alexander Pope on the process of Spiritual, Moral and Cultural Deterioration

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Kendall Harmon

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”

”• Alexander Pope
