Thus, while, in Barnaby's words, "the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak," so also was the team's performance. Columbia and Penn scored easy victories, and Harvard's title aspirations went up in smoke...
...years than it ever had before, or would again. So did its cultural surface, especially in painting, which moved, as it were, from the pink thighs of Boucher's Miss O'Murphy to the martial sinews of David's Horatii and thence to the tumescent flesh of Delacroix's slave girls almost within the lifetime of one man.
