“In this final address to Whitman, what had been cancelled is declared “uncancelled,” a term that signifies the negation of that which has already been negated. In addition to its arithmetic significations, “cancel⟳” is often used to describe⟳ the breaking of vows or covenants. The uncancellation of Whitman’s “tread” may thus be seen as the reparation of a broken covenant.”
“Even Gretzky and Lemieux, whose presence at the table was seen as the League's last⟳ hope⟳ during the failed “uncancellation” of the season (17–19 February 2005), are seen to represent⟳ a game long lost to its best.”
