Who but a man called Quinn could claim to have made this journey?
This flight by land and sea in search of neo-Olympian glory
a nearly Homeric epic of a trip across oceans and continents
a saintly and Iberian and colonial and imperialistic jaunt from
San Diego to Hong Kong to Malacca to Capetown and finally to
Rio de Janeiro in February and March and following months
with flesh and bone hints of bone and marrow events
whether shots of bow and arrow or lots of ribbons and bows
and medals and bicycle pedals of straight shooters who opt out
of the straight and narrow approach the elders had imagined
-Charles A. Perrone
