"Hope springs eternal in the human breast:

Question

Man never Is, but always To be blest:"
what's the name of the poem or essay by alexander pope that this is from? Is it called "An essay on a man"?

Answer 1

Yes.

I've seen it listed as any of the following:

An Essay on Man
Essay on Man
The Essay on Man

I think what Pope named it is "Essay on Man" -- no The or An in front.
