[A House-Boat on the Styx by John Kendrick Bangs]@TWC D-Link bookA House-Boat on the Styx CHAPTER IX: AS TO COOKERY AND SCULPTURE 8/13
I had a good time, and I don't care who knows it. When I look about me and see Jupiter, the arch-snob of creation, and Mars, a little tin warrior who couldn't have fought a soldier like Napoleon, with all his alleged divinity, I thank the Fates that they enabled me to achieve immortality through mortal effort.
Hang hereditary greatness, I say.
These men were born immortals.
You and I worked for it and got it.
We know what it cost.
