as the sparks fly upward

as the sparks fly upward
неотвратимо, неизбежно; ≈ на роду написано [этим. библ. Job V, 7]

Some tender heroine of a more sentimental age might have sought to keep her man out of danger. Not so Victoria. Men, in Victoria's opinion, were born to danger as the sparks fly upwards. (A. Christie, ‘They Came to Baghdad’, ch. 15) — Героиня другого, более сентиментального века, вероятно, старалась бы избавить любимого человека от опасности. Но Виктория была не такая. По ее мнению, мужчинам на роду написано подвергать себя опасности.
