“How very ordinary and general and unremarkable a destiny it must be, how predictable a part of the universal portion of mankind it is, to love and to feel oneself beloved; and yet how astonishing it seems when it happens to you, yourself; what a stroke of glorious, undeserved, unprecedented luck it turns out to be, that you should be permitted, in your own person, to share in the general fate.”
― Francis Spufford, Golden Hill
