There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, the other is to read Pope

There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislik

Summary

This quote, attributed to British author Oscar Wilde, suggests that if one truly wants to dislike poetry, reading the works of Alexander Pope would be a sure way. It implies that Pope's poetry might be associated with a dislike for the art form. However, it's important to note that the quote carries a subtly sarcastic tone, indicating that the dislike of poetry is not necessarily a valid or justified position. It hints at the idea that exploring different types of poetry by various authors can broaden one's understanding and appreciation of the genre as a whole.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
