Ah yes...
The favorite portion of this poem for me is:
"Know then thyself,
Presume not God to scan.
The proper study of Mankind is Man."

"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again."-Essay On Criticism, Alexander Pope
"He who tells a lie is not sensible of how great a task he undertakes; for he must be forced to invent twenty more to maintain that one." -Alexander Pope
Pope was a pretty deep guy. His best works were Essay on Criticism, and Essay on Man. Although his language is archaic and hard to wade through, his works are timeless and hold a great amount of food for thought on human nature and the human condition...

I can break it down more eloquently I think.
Humans
98% dumb asses
1% who think they aren't dumb asses
And then there's us.

THE SORROW OF LOVE
by: W.B. Yeats
The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth's old and weary cry.
And then you came with those red mournful lips,
And with you came the whole of the world's tears,
And all the sorrows of her labouring ships,
And all the burden of her myriad years.
And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves
Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry.

Placed on this isthmus of a middle state / A being darkly wise and rudely great... / He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest; / In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; / In doubt his mind or body to prefer; / Born but to die, and reasoning but to err.
