"When beasts could speak (the learned say They still can do so every day), It seems, they had religion then, As much as now we find in men."
"The virtue of a woman is often a greater torment to her husband than her vice."
"Some people take more care to hide their wisdom than their folly."
"The greatest inventions were at first but the objects of ridicule."
"I am convinced that if all who are of the same opinion were to meet, the place of meeting would not be large enough to contain them."
About Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
Anglo-Irish satirist and Dean of Dublin's St Patrick's Cathedral whose Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729) are the canonical English-language satires. Closely associated with Alexander Pope (Scriblerus Club poet and collaborator) and John Gay (Beggar's Opera author and satirical contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see Daniel Defoe, English Whig journalist and Robinson Crusoe author (1660-1731) — Defoe's Crusoe (1719) celebrates Enlightenment self-reliance and the colonial-mercantile project; Swift's Gulliver (1726) systematically dismantles every form of human pretension Defoe celebrated. The cleanest Augustan Whig-vs-Tory literary pairing — optimistic-empirical vs misanthropic-satirical.
