Gives Oneself Over
I'm not familiar with the story this illustrates, but I can't stop looking at it. He looks very calm for someone wrapped in a cobra at Kali's feet in the middle of bloody battle.

Never a dull match with a Dusek
“In Boston, Rudy watched Brother Ernie wrestle an Irishman named Dan O’Mahoney. When O’Mahoney got the decision, Rudy jumped into the ring, tried to assault the referee, started a free-for-all among the seconds. In Camden, N. J., a few nights after the bout in Boston, Ernie wrestled Gino Garibaldi. A spectator in the balcony hurled down a chair which hit Ernie on the head. He was hospitalized.”
And yet they look so relaxed.
