UNLUCKY
Abraham Ibn Ezra, the fam-
ous Bible commentator and
poet, had a sense of humour
which even allowed him to joke
at his own misfortunes. He
wrote the following verse on
the ill-luck which seemed to
dog him through life:
I try to get on, but I cannot
succeed;
For against me the planets
conspire;
If a maker of shrouds I be-
came in my need,
None would die—a shroud to
require.
The planets and stars are so
hostile to me,
From my birth as against me
they fight;
If a seller of candles my trade
were to be,
The sun would be shining all
night!
