Fate

Fate hit me very hard one day.

I cried: "What is my fault?

What have I done? What causes, pray, This unprovoked assault?"

She paused, then said: "Darned if I know; I really can't explain."

Then just before she turned to go She whacked me once again! -La Touche Hancock.

So in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft, "With our own feathers, not by others' hands, Are we now smitten." -Æschylus.
