Beam Quote by Fay Weldon

“Letters crossing in the post, unfamiliar tunes heard three times…” quote by Fay Weldon — Download Open image

“Letters crossing in the post, unfamiliar tunes heard three times in one day, the way that blows of fate descend upon the same bowed shoulders, and the beams of good fortune glow perpetually upon the blessed. Fairy tales, as I said, are lived out daily. There is far more going on in the world than we ever imagine.”
