This is not a lover's discourse; it is though interested, and it is interested in the lover's discourse. Our letters are using their form to provoke us to think about enquiries that we have each been serving for some time.You and I seem to have been reading and writing side by side, for quite a long while, unaware each of each until a chance dinner with friends a year ago, and, oh - we are interested in everything, each to each..."-- provided by distributor.
