But why speak of Amantius, the letter-carrier, when I am jealous even of my letters, which will be opened by your blessed fingers and examined by your blessed eyes? And I, personally, shut in here within the half-burnt confines of a fragile wall, am totally debarred by the menace of a war close at hand from satisfying my longing for you.
