Ah, fading joy, how quickly art thou past!
Yet we thy ruin haste.
As if the cares of human life were few,
We seek out new:
And follow fate, which would too fast pursue.

See how on every bough the birds express
In their sweet notes their happiness.
They all enjoy and nothing spare;
But on their mother nature lay their care.

Why then should man, the lord of all below,
Such troubles choose to know
As none of all his subjects undergo?

Hark, hark, the waters fall, fall, fall,
And with a murmuring sound
Dash, dash upon the ground,
To gentle slumbers call.

Song from The Indian Emperor by John Dryden (1665)

“Before the first date, I try to determine the following: Does he make me smile? Is he down to go for a walk? Will he get on the phone? After the first date, I ask myself: Is he curious? Does he like himself? Is he kind? It’s a little crazy, imperfect and, yes, judgmental. My systematic approach may well be weeding out someone who could make me my happiest self. But the leaving-it-up-to-fate alternative of relying on chemistry, physical attraction and serendipity hasn’t led me to that person either.”

“One day before breakfast, an orange rolled off the counter and escaped its fate, bouncing happily through the kitchen door. Filled with hope, the egg followed.”
