The Liz of our Life Salutes the Victor


29 April 2008
David:
With apologies to The Bard --
Who Is Victor?
Who is Victor? what is he,
That all his words commend him?
True, fair, and wise is he;
The heaven such erudition did lend him,
That he might admirèd be.
Is he true as he is wise?
For wisdom lives with truth.
And truth doth to our eyes repair,
To help the media of their blindness,
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Victor let us sing,
That Victor is excelling;
He excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To him let us Nobels bring.
William Shakespeare
