sudden thrill and sustained intellectual interest on offer

If I had been given the choice by some benevolent God
between winning Wimbledon and
hitting a match-winning century at Lord's for West Indies,

It is like the difference between lust and love.
There is, it is true, the temporary excitement of a passionate one-night stand.
But who can doubt that the more mature, the more beguiling, the longer-lasting love affair
provides the more challenging and the deeper experience ?
