WHAT IS A LETTER ?
What is a letter? Let affection tell! A tongue that speaks to those who absent dwell; A silent language uttered to the eye, Which envious distance would in vain deny; A link to bind when circumstances part, A nerve of feeling stretched from heart to heart, Formed to convey, like an electric chain. The mystic flash, the lightning of the brain; And thrill at once through its.remotest, link A throb of passion by a drop of ink.
