Now each of the youths was passing fair to look upon, and in the bath they were even as saith the poet,
Are they so much wiser than I, is the affection of a day stronger than mine?

Of course, there is the element of luck to be considered, for luck and skill must go hand in hand when youths go jousting in the clouds. But luck can only attend the skillful.
