"Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks……" — Alexander Pope

"Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be, In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend; And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due."

— Alexander Pope
