But there are no gods...
That's a bit like the saying - "Be careful what you wish for..." Does anyone know if there is a bit missing from that saying - if so post it.
However that saying by Wilde - is a bit Roman Catholic don't you think? Like nothing good can come to us in life and everything turns sour...
The Monkies Paw though was about a cursed paw that granted a wish at great cost...
