Old-Fashioned View

Glory is a circle in the water
To mark where something trivial went down,
Never again to skim above the wavelets.

Modern View

Glory is a line in the sand.

clue:

Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
Till by broad spreading it disperse to naught.
— William Shakespeare
