I usually just let ghosting editors ghost and log it as a rejection, but a few days ago I shot out some passive-aggressive emails to places that never replied and as a result just broke my record for longest elapsed time between submission and rejection (2 days after this reply)
If I were the serpent with no wings and no crown I would be envious of the serpent that gets to have wings and a crown, essential unity and eternal recurrence and what-have-you be damned

me how to spring ahead, though I fall back;
to wind against the wind by changing tack;
that bearings must be smooth; that seas are not;
