That was one of the poems which struck me hard early on. In fact, I memorized it. There's something to be said for "comeback kids," but there's also a lot to be said about those who stayed long after their skills had left the scene. We have some poignant pictures of people who stayed long after they should have "hung it up." Guess we will wait and see. In addition to reading Houseman, look at Miniver Cheevy and Richard Corey. Forgot the authors, but the poetic pictures he painted have always remained. I enjoyed reading "Athlete" again and especially having it brought to my attention by one whom I so admire and love! ~dad Such a coincidence. That was one of the poems which struck me hard early on.
