In fact one of her poems is one of my favorites. Have you read <br /><br />The Winds of Fate<br /><br />One ship drives east and another drives west<br />With the self-same winds that blow;<br /> 'Tis the set of the sails<br /> And not the gales<br />That tells them the way to go.<br /><br />Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate<br />As we voyage along through life;<br /> 'Tis the set of the soul<br /> That decides its goal<br />And not the calm or the strife.<br /><br />World Voices. by Ella Wheeler Wilcox<br />New York : Hearst's International Library Company, 1916.Daniel Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178375087492786696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769727944915511936.post-19573411763808144192020-05-02T06:38:59.597-07:002020-05-02T06:38:59.597-07:00Ella Wheeler Wilcox was an American author and poe...Ella Wheeler Wilcox was an American author and poet.
