Cordially— farewells, undressing and dressing the voice “mm / ah,” layer of people, wrapping gifts, “polite speech is a kind of wrapping of thoughts and intentions,” politeness in the womb, “One good way to start a letter of refusal is to agree with the reader on some point. This establishes a feeling of working together… ‘We agree that a watch running only part of the time is useless,’” words to give others a feeling of power and other epistolary sympathies, governmentalities as extensions of the body, things you can suppose other people want, “ornamentation is as vast as the world—cosmos and cosmetics, appearance and essence. Ornament equals order and embellishment is equivalent to law,” hinging off the back of an other’s hand. Lillian Eichler Watson’s The Bantam Book of Correct Letter Writing, Joy Hendry’s Wrapping Culture, Harold E. Meyer, Agnes Denes, Matsuo Basho, Moondog, Emily Dickinson, Percy Sledge
