Some are old, some bold
But few old, bold mountaineers --
There's one fewer now.

The newscaster made me chuckle a bit this morning: "...when he conquered the mountain." Conquering a mountain. Not at all like crawling to the top and wondering how to get back down in one piece, I suppose. Language kills me dead.
