Alas!
We give our destiny from our own hands,
And trust to those most frail of all frail things,
The chances of humanity.


A Summer Evening's Tale - The Venetian Bracelet (1829)


Alas! We give our destiny from our own hands, And trust to those most frail of all frail things, The chances of humanity.

Alas! We give our destiny from our own hands, And trust to those most frail of all frail things, The chances of humanity.

Alas! We give our destiny from our own hands, And trust to those most frail of all frail things, The chances of humanity.

Alas! We give our destiny from our own hands, And trust to those most frail of all frail things, The chances of humanity.
