rough-hew

True it is, as the great bard expresses it, that "there's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we will."

It may be, then, that to all living beings there is a Destiny "that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will."

You know your Shakespeare, John, and he says most truly: 'There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.'

Assuredly there is a Providence that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will.

There is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them though we may.
