“I see my way as birds their trackless way.I shall arrive! what time, what circuit first, I ask not; but unless God send his hailOr blinding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow,In some time, his good time, I shall arrive:He guides me and the bird. In his good time!”“Paracelsus” -Part I. by Robert Browning [1812-1889]
