“Let thy chief terror be of thine own soul:
There, ’mid the throng of hurrying desires
That trample on the dead to seize their spoil,
Lurks vengeance, footless, irresistible
As exhalations laden with slow death,
And o’er the fairest troop of captured joys
Breathes pallid pestilence.”Excerpt From

‘Luck is a fickle girl
who doesn’t like lingering in any one place;
she strokes your hair back from your brow,
kisses you quickly and flits away.Lady Misfortune, by contrast,
presses you tightly to her loving heart;
she says she’s not in a hurry,
sits down beside your bed and knits.’Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
