Sobre IBD

An Essay on Criticism is one of the first major poems written by the English writer Alexander Pope (1688-1744), published in 1711. It is the source of the famous quotations 'To err is human; to forgive, divine', 'A little learning is a dang’rous thing' (frequently misquoted as 'A little knowledge is a dang’rous thing'), and 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread'
