    Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design.

    The slight reproach to which the virtue of patriotism is commonly liable, the noble are most likely to incur.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Being wakeful for her sake,
    Remembering what she had,
    What eagle look still shows,
    While up from my heart’s root
    So great a sweetness flows
    I shake from head to foot.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
