any idea?

i was looking through my old hard drive today. it contains stuff from 2005-2008, things that i found significant enough to back up.

i found this in a word document, and for the life of me, i cannot remember where it came from. a movie or a book, most probably, but other than that i'm drawing a total blank.

"I would like to call it fate, but I should call it chance, that put you in my yard at the time my heart was at its most tender. I suppose I’m lucky it was you and not someone crueler. Still, if it had been anyone but you, Alice, I would have loved again, and plenty, before this ripe age. Cursed by your eyes, however, I never have."
