Indeed if Hopper had not erected it to its "present perpendicular attitude" "Wang" would be already dead and happy in "innocuous desuetude." But Hopper gives the thing its, authority, as the Kentuckian said of the "corn" in the julep. When he is on (which happily is most of the time) whether to heap new polysyllabies on the head...
