    self-adoration, this athlete seems to have every reason to receive praise for his accomplishments. There are no judgment-laced allusions or morose comparisons to spoil his moment of fame. However, like the ship, his glory is also fleeting and every step brings him nearer to that fateful impact. Rather than assign maleficence to the inevitable, the speaker of Housman’s poem simply calls it “…the road all runners come” (5). At some point, the strength of every athlete fails and years of grueling…
