 Time and doom hap alike to all, irrespective of man’s purposes or proposings, and no man knows what his hap shall be, since no skill of any kind can avail to guide through the voyage of life without encountering its storms. From the unlooked-for quarter, too, do those storms burst on us. As the fishes suspect no danger till in the net they are taken, and as the birds fear nothing till ensnared, so we poor children of Adam, when our “evil time” comes round, are snared without warning. Absolutely true this is, if life be regarded solely by such light as human wisdom gives. (Ecclesiastes 9 by F.C. Jennings)

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
