May be its mine bad-luck Or yours not to get me But I still have hope Of being yours
Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars, to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.
I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it, and it went on the rampage.
People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect.
It's not as if I've been unlucky. My books have been published and reviewed. I haven't lived through terrible literary suffering!
