seems to be the rule of this world.  Each person has what he doesn’t want, and other people have what he does want. Married men have wives, and don’t seem to want them; and young single fellows cry out that they can’t get them.  Poor people who can hardly keep themselves have eight hearty children.  Rich old couples, with no one to leave their money to, die childless.
