To write a letter is to send a message to the future; to speak of the present with an addressee who is not there, knowing nothing about how that person is {in what spirits, with whom} while we write and, above all, later: while reading over what we have written. Correspondence is the utopian form of conversation because it annihilates the present and turns the future into the only possible place for dialogue.
