Wakefield International Cup - A history from 1911 by Charles Dennis Rushing

Fly as close as you can

HOW OFTEN LIKE DAEDALUS
DO WE FLY TOO CLOSE
TO THAT WHICH THOUGH
LIFE GIVING, DASHES
US DOWN!

LOSE HEART LIKE DAEDALUS 
NEVER TO FLY AGAIN 
OR TO OBTAIN THAT THOUGH 
HARDEST TO REACH, LIFTS US UP !

FLY AGAIN LIKE ACCIPITRIDAE 
FLY AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN 
TO THAT WHICH THOUGH 
DIFFICULT & ELUSIVE, LIFTS 
US UP!

Dedicated to: Viscount Lord Wakefield of Hythe 
The Wakefield International Cup 
To those who seek, and to 
those who have won The Wakefield Cup

Viscount Lord Wakefield of Hythe was a Visionary!

VISION IS A BAFFLING THING:
LACK OF IT 
RENDERS ALL TO MEDIOCRITY. 
POSSESSION OF IT 
MADE MIDAS CHAFE.

VISION AS HE KNEW IT: 
RANG TRUE AND, 
RENDERED ALL ANEW. 
HIS POSSESSION OF IT 
MADE PROMETHEUS QUAKE!

LORD WAKEFIELD WAS A VISIONARY! 
THERE ARE THOSE 
WHO HAVE COMPLETELY 
FORGOTTEN! 
READ ! AWAKEN!

This book is dedicated to:

VISCOUNT LORD WAKEFIELD OF HYTHE!
