词汇 | a poet-s protection |
词源 | a poet’s protection. Little Alexander Pope, all 4 feet 6 inches of him, was easily the most popular poet of his day, but not among British poets. His Dunciad, for example, attacked so many writers that a group of them threatened to beat his pub- lisher if he printed any more copies. The little man felt so para- noid that he would not go out for a walk without his Great Dane and two pistols at his side. |
