In ancient times the re stood in the citadel of
Athens three statues of Minerva. The first was
OF olive wood, and, according to popular tradi-
ton, had fallen from heaven. The second was
OF bronze concentrating the victory of Mara

miracle of art, in the age of Pericles. And thus,
in the citadel of Time stands Man himself. In
childhood, shaped of soft and delicate wood
Just fallen from heaven; in manhood, statue
of bronze, commeIoorating struggle and victory
and, lastly, in the maturity of age, perfectly
shaped IN gold and ivory-a miracle of art
