Trench : sonnet opening 'Thou cam'st not to thy place by accident'
In Letter XI, "Letters on Daily Life", Elizabeth Missing Sewell reproduces a sonnet by 'Archbishop Trench' opening 'Thou cam'st not to thy place by accident / It is the very place God meant for thee,' with the remark that this poem 'has often been a help to me when I have felt inclined to wish my position other than it is.'
