His whole life, he will stand a tip-toe when that quarter is named and rouse him at the mention of it. He will strip his sock and show his scars and say ‘These wounds had I the Saturday before Veteran’s day.’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, but he’ll remember with advantages what feats he did that day. Then shall the plays, the downs and distances, familiar in his mouth as household words: 2nd and 5, 27 yard run. 2nd and 10, 20 yards to Kuithe. 3rd and 12, 36 yards to Singer, incorrect facemask call, 1st and goal 7 yards to Bernard be in his flowing cups freshly remember’d. This story shall he teach his son; and rivalry week shall ne’er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but that quarter in it shall be remember'd by him.
