I cannot help but stop and look at the british crew.

Does the crew make you shiver?

does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at collegiate swimmers.

Do swimmers make you shiver?

do they?

Gymnastics are, in their way, intellectual conditions of sport.

Do gymnastics make you shiver?

do they?

I cannot help but stop and look at the fat oarsman.

An oarsman is pudgy. an oarsman is fat-free,

an oarsman is profitable, however.

I cannot help but stop and look at the mechanical ergometer.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the ergometer,

Gently it goes - the automatonlike, the robotlike, the nonhuman.

I cannot help but stop and look at the fastest paddling.

Does the paddling make you shiver?

does it?
