But Not Forgotten
by Dorothy Parker
I think, no matter where you stray,
That I shall go with you a way.
Though you may wander sweeter lands,
You will not soon forget my hands,
Nor yet the way I held my head,
Nor all the tremulous things I said.
You still will see me, small and white
And smiling, in the secret night,
And feel my arms about you when
The day comes fluttering back again.
I think, no matter where you be,
You’ll hold me in your memory
And keep my image, there without me,
By telling later loves about me.

April 1994. His will sapped by a magic spell, Superman spurns both Lois and Batman for the Silver Banshee in Book 3 of the LEGENDS OF THE WORLD'S FINEST miniseries. Batman is, to borrow a phrase from Dorothy Parker, not tossed aside lightly, but thrown with great force.

Jimmy hobnobs with royalty: Romania's Queen Marie, with Mayor Walker on her arrival in New York, October 18, 1926, as she started her extended journey across America.
The queen is immortalized in Dorothy Parker's well-known ditty:
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea,
And love is a thing that can never go wrong,
And I am Marie of Romania.
