  • Men speak of blind destiny, a thing without scheme or purpose. But what sort of destiny is that? Each act in this world from which there can be no turning back has before it another, and it another yet. In a vast endless net. Men imagine that the choices before them are theirs to make.

Choice is lost in the maze of generations and each act in the maze is itself an enslavement for it voids every alternative and binds one ever more tightly into the constraints that make a life.

    Destiny   Men   Choices

    Beauty   Men   Order  
    James Joseph Sylvester (1908). “The Collected Mathematical Papers: (1870-1883)”

Further investigation added to the collection and confirmed the general scheme suggested by the hunch.
