Once I "dipt into the future far as human eye could see," / And saw -- it was not Sandow, nor John Sullivan, but she -- / The Emancipated Woman, who was weeping as she ran / Here and there for the discovery of Expurgated Man.
But the sun of Evolution ever rose and ever set, / And that tardiest of mortals hadn't evoluted yet.
