An exquisite invention this, Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,-- This art of writing billet-doux-- In buds, and odors, and bright hues! In saying all one feels and thinks In clever daffodils and pinks; In puns of tulips; and in phrases, Charming for their truth, of daisies. (Quote by - Leigh Hunt)

Letters, from absent friends, extinguish fear, Unite division, and draw distance near; Their magic force each silent wish conveys, And wafts embodied though, a thousand ways: Could souls to bodies write, death's pow'r were mean, For minds could then meet minds with heav'n between. (Quote by - Aaron Hill)

Go, little letter, apace, apace, Fly; Fly to the light in the valley below - Tell my wish to her dewy blue eye. (Quote by - Lord Alfred Tennyson)

Thy letter sent to prove me, Inflicts no sense of wrong; No longer wilt thou love me,-- Thy letter, though is long. (Quote by - Heinrich Heine)
