“Dame Fortune is a fickle gipsy, And always blind, and often tipsy; Sometimes for years and years together, She 'll bless you with the sunniest weather, Bestowing honour, pudding, pence, You can't imagine why or whence; Then in a moment Presto, pass! Your joys are withered like the grass” YearsSometimesMomentsTogetherJoyImagineBlindFortuneWeatherGrassBlessHonourFickleWitheredPuddingDamesYears TogetherTipsy Book:Lillian: And Other Poems Source: Lillian: And Other Poems

There is far more going on in the world than we ever imagine.” WorldWayLifeSaidThreeFateImagineHeardOne DayLettersBlessedFortuneBlowShouldersTalesPostsFairyTunesFairy TaleThree TimesGood FortuneCrossingsBeamUnfamiliar Author:Fay Weldon
