Chanel Underwhelms..."There You Are"
Plans disappear, dreams take over. But wherever I go there you are. My luck, my fate, my fortune...inevitable.

"don’t mourn your luck that’s failing now,
work gone wrong, your plans all proving deceptive
—don’t mourn them uselessly"*.
* excerpt from the poem "The God Abandonds Antony" (1911) by C.Cavafy, translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard
