Commonplace Book

'...Good fortune, true success, is the indwelling radiance and serenity that comes and goes so mysteriously in every human tenement. Expect her not, and she arrives; seek to detain her with elaborate argument or excuse, and she is gone. Yet must the door ever be open for her coming, and the board spread for her entertainment...'

from Good Fortune, a piece in The Kinship of Nature by Bliss Carman
