April 8 Inspiration

As expressed by the classical poet Pindar of Thebes (518-438 B.C.):

Creatures of a day
What is someone?
What is no one?
Man is merely a shadow's dream
But when god-given glory comes upon him in victory
A bright light shines on us and life is sweet
When the end comes the loss of flame brings darkness
But his glory is bright forever.

And if that doesn't do it for you:

April 8 readers, I tease, you tease, we all tease for...
