Pope Sylvester II

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or sylvester:

    In men we various ruling passions find,
    In women, two almost divide the kind;
    Those, only fixed, they first or last obey,
    The love of pleasure, and the love of sway.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    On this I ponder where’er I wander,
    And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of thee;
    With thy bells of Shandon,
    —Francis Sylvester Mahony (1805–1866)
