Effects: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

As on the smooth exp expanse of crystal lakes The sinking stone at first a circle makes; The trembling surface by the motion stirr'd, Spreads in a second circle, then a third; Wide, and more wide, the floating rings advance, Fill all the watery plain, and to the margin dance.— POPE — Temple of Fame. L. 436.

What dire offence from amorous causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things.— POPE — Rape of the Lock. Canto I. L. 1.
