He even wanted to get a second wife to rape and beat, as permitted...

“A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again. — Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, 1709 “Wrong Church.
