We were the champions!

“We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause We are the champions
Of the world.”

No more ball

The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Right or Left, as strikes the Player goes;
And He that toss'd Thee down into the Field,
He knows about it all -- HE knows --- HE knows!

(E. Fitzgerald  from The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám)

Silent singing on the grandstand

"Not the sweet, new grass with flowers
Is this harvesting of ours;
  Not the upland clover bloom;
But the rowen mired with weeds,
Tangled tufts from marsh and meads,
Where the poppy drops its seeds
  In the silence and the gloom."

(H.W. Longfellow in Aftermath)
