To miss the opportunity

Spoil the coincidence or the appropriate times.

("Now, my son, listen to my voice and rise up in your place. All the righteous give place to the hour, Jacob in the place, Moses in the place, David in the place, for whoever pushes the hour, the hour pushes him away" - Midrash Agada (Buber) at the beginning of chapter 27, 33, and so: "Be ready at all times and at all hours, and when the end comes, do not miss the hour" - Agnon/ Tales of the Storytellers, 29, and so on: "Danziger called Selena and told her that his soul had missed the hour" - H. Baer/ To a Place Where the Spirit Goes, 424)
