“I once read a silly fairy tale, called ‘The Three Princes of Serendip’: as their Highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of.”
— Horace Walpole, January 28, 1754
Serendipity was first described over two and a half centuries ago as “accidental sagacity”.
It speaks to an awakened awareness attuned to meaningful coincidences.
