The quotation from Pope* given in E[ncyclopaedia of] V[isual] A[rt]** is particularly apposite:***

‘Created half to rise, and half to fall,

Great Lord of all things, yet a prey to all;

Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled;

The glory, jest and riddle of the world!’

****

*[Alexander Pope, 21^st May 1688- 30^th May 1744]

**[Encyclopaedia of Visual Art 4:631]

***[& still is to humankind now]

****(From ‘An Essay on Man’# II, 13; Alexander Pope, quoted in E[ncyclopaedia of] V[isual] A[rt] 4:631)
