Did you know that David Hume said of his own greatest work, A Treatise of Human Nature, that it "fell still-born from the Press"?

And as Burns (the original mouseketeer) says in the poem you reference, "[t]he best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men / Gang aft agley..."

But, on the other hand, maybe there really is no balm in Gilead...

"Enough! or too much" from me...
