He who wins, of a sudden, some noble prize In the rich years of youth Is raised high with hope; his manhood takes wings; He has in his heart what is better than wealth. But brief is the season of man's delight. Soon it falls to the ground; some dire decision uproots it. —Thing of a day! such is man; a shadow in a dream. Pindar (Part of a Fifth Century ode written to celebrate a boy's victory in an Olympic wrestling match at Delphi.)
