"She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on her with a pitchfork."
"The three grand enemies of human happiness are public envy, civil discord, and religious faction."
"Books, the children of the brain."
"We are told that the Houyhnhnms have no vices, but those which are the product of their reason; and that the Yahoos have no virtues, but those which are the product of their instinct."
"It is computed, that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end."
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.
