IF YOU MUST UNGER
LINGER IN CORDOVA
To ray friends of the Copper City:
Since my poor little poem? “Infatua
tion” has called down so much of
comment and criticism upon me and
incidentally upon our charming little
city, I feel it incumbent upon me to
remind my readers that one cannot
take part of anything away from the
whole and get even an approximation
of a perfect idea. Without the re
nrainer of this little poem (?) and
shorn of its title it conveys an im
pression such as the Valdez Miner has
enlarged and elaborated upon and
such as I should reluctantly place
above my signature. Now if my friends
(and I feel I may claim many in
Cordova) will kindly remember that I
called these verses “Infatuation" and
by so doing labeled them according
to the authority I find between the
pages of my American Universities
New and Unabrigded Dictionary. The
title seemed, to my intelligence, to em
body all that the poem (?) contained,
for “Infatuation” means: “The act of
affecting with folly. State of mind
when it is infatuated on that which
produces such a state of mind. Folly,
madness, intoxication, foolishness, un
reason!” Now, since I so captioned
my little poem (?) where is there nec
essity to say more?
I note the Valdez Miner in “coming
back” ignores my recent answer. The
rather putrid contents of its last ef
fort precludes my replying with dig
nity. I very much fear the brain
from which this said article emanated
is sloping toward paresis or something
of the sort. It never occurred to me
before that even the kiss of infatua
tion, in the eyes of man or woman,
should necessarily be only nasty. The
fact that Valdei finds it hard to ap
preciate Unger is hardly surprising.
Can you fancy anything lingering in
Valdez if it could get away?
