...time has gone by when heralds passed around the lists, crying, "Do your devoirs, brave knights; bright eyes look upon your deeds," but none the less do bright eyes now glance approvingly upon the hard-run race, the graceful leap, the well-thrown ball, and the prize will be the more valued when applause from fair hands mingles with the cheers that hail the victors in these modern Olympian games...
