Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | French term or phrase: refus de la providence | Hello!
Could you help me? The context is about destiny in everyday life.
Mais mon choix fut fait, je refusais encore une fois de les rencontrer. Cinq ans plus tard. Pourquoi ce *refus de la providence* qui m'aurait permis de demander directement aux intéressés la vérité?
Thanks in advance! |
| | | spurn the hand of providence | Explanation:
"Why did I spurn the hand of providence..."
I think you need providence (or perhaps Providence) here, as fate cannot be refused or denied.
