I am forty years old and new to the classical world of literature and find it quite difficult to understand. I am reading "An Essay on Criticism" by Alexander Pope and need to understand and be able to explain to a class I am taking the differences Nature and nature---I also need to see a relationship of art and Nature (L. 88-89) I just don't get it!! And what about Pope personifing Nature?
wow!! If there is anyone who can give me some insight into this very long poem I would love to discuss it and would be very greatfull.

I am studing this poem and am having a difficult time understanding it. I am hoping to have an opportunity to dicuss it with someone.

I am looking for someone who is familar with this text to discuss how the author uses the term Nature and nature within it. I am new to the world of literature and am having a difficult time understanding this.
