If we are related, we shall meet. It was a tradition of the ancient world, that no metamorphosis could hide a god from a god; and there is a Greek verse which runs, 'The Gods are to each other not unknown.'Friends also follow the laws of divine necessity; they gravitate to each other, and cannot otherwise.
