Stan.tk Study Guide – Alexander Pope, Essay on Criticism glitter of false wit conceals the “naked nature” (or rather hopes to conceal its absence) and buries what might have been “living grace” in a tawdry display of verbal wit. Behind these images there may be traces of an implicit scheme familiar in neoplatonic thought: the light of the One descends through emanation, forming and beautifying the Many.
