A proposito di questo titolo
 Pope’s Essay on Man stands out as a brilliant exploration of humanity’s role within the grand Chain of Being. This philosophical poem is divided into four Epistles, each offering a unique lens through which to view mankind—first in relation to the cosmos, then as an individual, followed by his place within society, and finally contemplating the pursuit of happiness. With its stately rhyming couplets, Popes intricate language can sometimes veer into obscurity, but overall, the work triumphs as a masterful piece of philosophical poetry. It eloquently conveys universal truths through elegantly balanced phrases, reminding us why Pope, despite being one of the most quoted figures in English literature, is often overlooked “Hope springs eternal in the human breast Man never is, but always To be Blest.” (Summary by Martin Geeson)
