Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
