Index Entry
Pole Vaulter:
"Repetition is inherent to frequency and wave phenomena in writing and expression as in music and sports, where rhythm is fundamental and expression is the essence. Whether it is a kid jumping over a ditch or a pole-vaulter seeking a new world record, he cannot do it all in no-time-at-all nor all the first time. It is part of the grand strategy that the pole-vaulter has to run over the same cinder path hundreds and hundreds of times before comprehendingly omni-coordinating his degrees of freedom and rising to that additional quarter of an inch for a record. And no one ever gets tired watching him."
