Dear Gorham: What would you think of my using the first part of “F and H” alone? Calling it just “For the Marriage of,” etc. This would seem rather disappointing, I know, but I feel that it is fate. This conviction comes after much thought and especially after writing one added verse (originally intended for part 3) to be inserted as the next-last, coming just before the “eye motif.” I feel that with this added the first part becomes an intensity that is definitely developed and closed,--and that further additions such as part 2 are irrelevant--at least anti-climactic by position. And as for the third part, I am interested enough in the aeroplane, war-speed idea but I think it would be better developed under a different sky. Let me know what you think of the idea;--what you think of the additional verse also. “The Springs of Guilty Song,” or former part 2, would do very well, I think, to send to _Broom_. Of course, I want to try _Dial_ on “F and H,” before it goes anywhere else. Its present length will slightly overlap two pages. I am glad to have the _Secession_ program in advance. You’re travelling right along it seems. I wish I could spare an erection, as suggested, but I have to save them all for Seiberling Tires, Furnaces, etc. I have a widening interest, you see, in tilling the public mind with my ideas of excellence. Frankly, I’m tired to death. The new job has been beyond expectations in many ways, but it simply keeps my imagination tied down more than ever. I have so much to do. Allen Tate is in Cincinnati visiting his brother and may come up here for a couple of days. I really enjoy admonishing him--Matty is not the only one who has “disciples.” By the way,--I guess that latter gent got peeved again at my last letter. I preface every letter now, you know, with the prediction that its contents will absolutely disgust him beyond the desire to answer--someday, perhaps already, that prophecy will be fulfilled. I can’t spare the money to put into reproductions of Bill’s [Sommer] pictures for some time. It will cost over twenty dollars just for six. It will be two months before I even break clear from the dentist and hay fever bills of the year,--so I guess we can’t send Loeb anything yet. --/--/ 113: TO CHARMION WIEGAND [_Cleveland_] _Oct. 9th, ’22_ My dear Charmion: --/--/ I’ve changed jobs only to find myself completely imprisoned now, there’s so much more to do. It’s copy work (as before) only now I have about _all_ of it to write. I haven’t had time to think about poetry for weeks and letters have to wait. There are birth pangs to go through with, even in so staid a thing as advertising copy and ideas. I hammer my forehead for hours some days trying to get an idea that will be read, and loosen purse strings. --/--/
