I have fallen in love with American names, The sharp names that never get fat, The snakeskin-titles of mining-claims, The plumed war-bonnet of Medicine Hat, Tucson and Deadwood and Lost Mule Flat.
I will perform the function of a whetstone, which is about to restore sharpness to iron, though itself unable to cut. [Lat. , Fungar vice cotis, acutum Reddere quae ferrum valet, exsors ipsi secandi. ]
