“Glorious the northern lights astream;
Glorious the song, when Gods the theme
Glorious the thunders roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyrs gore:
Gloriousmore glorious is the crown
Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deeds achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”

“There is hardly an American male of my generation who has not at one time or another tried to master the victory cry of the great ape as it issued from the androgynous chest of Johnny Weissmuller, to the accompaniment of thousands of arms and legs snapping during attempts to swing from tree to tree in the backyards of the Republic.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
