    And each forgets, as he strips and runs
    With a brilliant, fitful pace,
    It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
    Who win in the lifelong race.
    And each forgets that his youth has fled,
    Forgets that his prime is past,
    Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
    In the glare of the truth at last.

Why, like the hindmost chariot wheels, art curst
Still to be near but ne'er to reach the first.

Verentem sese, frustra sectabere cantum
Cum rota posterior curras et in axe secundo.]
