“Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls;
For, thus friends absent speak.”

“Letters are signs of things, symbols of words, whose power is so great that without a voice they speak to us the words of the absent; for they introduce words by the eye, not by the ear.”
Litterae autem sunt indices rerum, signa verborum, quibus tanta vis est, ut nobis dicta absentium sine voce loquantur. Verba enim per oculos non per aures introducunt.

“The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze.”

“Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent.”
Absenti nemo non nocuisse velit.

“Absent or dead, still let a friend be dear.”

“Sir, could I trouble you for a kiss?”

“A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.”

“He kissed her, and their souls melted into each other in a melody older than time.”

“thus with a kiss I die”

“For with G. D., to be absent from the body is sometimes (not to speak profanely) to be present with the Lord.”
