An epoch of the postal system
On time (registered letter I)
Gellert's coup: folding the private letter
Set the controls for the heart of the night
The timbre of a calling (attunement)
The logistics of the poets' dream: Kleist
System time (registered letter II)
Postage one penny: Rowland Hill's post office reform
Hill/Babbage/Bentham: the mechanical alliance of 1827
Mail in 1855: a misuse of love letters
The world postal system, or the end of the world
The telegraph: land and sea
Typewriter and carbon paper
The poet's printed matter in extremis
Mail, or the impossibility of writing letters
In the presence of noise.
