Tao Te Ching

“Mr. Pope, the best poet of England, and at present of all the world. I hope you are acquainted enough with the English tongue to be sensible of all the charms of his works... I never saw so amiable an imagination, so gentle graces, so great variety, so much wit, and so refined knowledge of the world”

— Voltaire, François-Marie Arouet 1694 – 1778 CE
