It's pleasant to imagine that somewhere (be it a Good, Bad, or Medium Place) Pope and H.L. Mencken might be laughing uproariously together.

"A little learning is a dang'rous thing"... Lovely to read someone who clearly has a lot more than just a little learning when it comes to Pope. Thanks for sharing, Henry. And best of luck for the rest of your PhD, Jane!

Pope’s virtuosity in demonstrating errors as he condemns them always brings me back — in admiration — to the Essay on Criticism.
