A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.” ~ George S. Patton

Think of the white beard, the chariot pulled through the air by a breed of animal which doesn’t ordinarily fly, the prayers (requests for gifts) which are annually mailed to him and which so baffle the Post Office, the specially-garbed priests in all the department stories.
