"Our oneness is the wrestlers'..."

Our oneness is the wrestlers’, fierce and close,
Thrusting and thrust;
One life in dual effort for one prize,—
We fight, and must;
For soul with soul does battle evermore
Till love be trust.

From "Wrestling" by Louisa S. Bevington.


Hercules and Antaeus, School of Mantegna, c.1497
