Pope Sylvester II

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or sylvester:

    Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
    You’ve played, and loved, and eat, and drunk your fill:
    Walk sober off; before a sprightlier age
    Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage:
    Leave such to trifle with more grace and ease,
    Whom Folly pleases, and whose follies please.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    With deep affection and recollection
    I often think of the Shandon bells,
    —Francis Sylvester Mahony (1805–1866)
