kaart
Letters swallow themselves in seconds. Notes friends tied to the doorknob, transparent scarlet paper sizzle like moth wings,marry the air.
A card with the inscriptions P. F. (standing for the French words "pour féliciter") is used as a New Year card expressing good wishes for the coming year or in social correspondence extending congratulations.

“Mild is the parting year, and sweet
The odour of the falling spray;
Life passes on more rudely fleet,
And balmless is its closing day.
I wait its close, I court its gloom,
But mourn that never must there fall or on my breast or on my tomb
The tear that would have soothed it all.”
