An Altavista search for "The winds of fate Wilcox" finds this at
<URL:http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Cafe/9628/poem5.html>:
The Winds of Fate
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
One ship drives East, and another West,
With selfsame winds that blow.
'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales
That determines the way it shall go.
As the waves of the sea are the ways of fate
As we journey along through life,
It's the set of a soul that decides it's goal;
And not the calm or the strife.
Tatty bye,
Jim'll
