Always try so stop the car on the near side of

Make practice of whistling in the cars.

Fate.

Two shall be born the whole wide world apart,
And speak in different tongues, and have no
thought
Each of the others being and no heed:
And these, DER unknown seas to unknown lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck. defying death,
And all unconSciOusly shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one end
That one day, out of darkness, they shall meet
And read life meaning IL eacn others eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way of life
So nearly side by SIDE that should one turn
Ever SO little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face to
face.
And yet with wistful eyes that never meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp, and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear;
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsat.sted-and this is Fate.
