Woeful word from the front

The version

(∃x) (x is a sloop . I want x)

is suitable insofar only as there may be said to be a certain sloop that I want.  If what I seek is mere relief from slooplessness, [this expression] gives the wrong idea.

-- Quine, “Quantifiers and Propositional Attitudes” (1956)

Grave news :  Dr Justice has been diagnosed with a severe case of hypoyachtopoenia -- a not so rare condition in these troubled times.    His berth at the Millionaires Marina  cries out for very yachtlessness.   His lounge-chair at the Mariners Club sits empty;  and his cut-glass tumbler, which by rights should brim with the rarest of single-malt (topped off again and again  as he regales his fellow salty-sea-dogs  with tales of the bounding main), stands forlorn and empty.

(“Is there anything we can do is there anything we can dooo?!??” the readers interrupt, in anguish.)

-- Why, yes, as a matter of fact;  glad you asked.
