The best to never....
I saw a blurb that so-and-so just died, the greatest auto racer to never win the Indianappolis 500.
So it got me to thinking about best/nevers. I wonder if it could be said, by someone, of me, that I was the best novelist to never write a novel. Or of someone else, the best lover, among those that never made love. Or what of the greatest competitive eater, to have never finished everything on his plate. In a world full of competition and braggarts, I think I will seize some of these plums and claim them for myself. The realm of the "modest greatest to nevers." Prime territory. |
