Envelope I
The symbol in place of the postage stamp. I couldn't find it; I'll need some help finding out what it is, and what it means. If, indeed, it has any meaning at all.
"Sincerely". My first thought when I saw it, after my dismissal, was that it was a mistake. After all, such things are meant to go in your letter, are they not? However, a quick glance at my dictionary pointed out that it normally means "free of deceit, hypocrisy, or falseness; earnest". If this is, indeed, meaningful, we can therefore conclude that this mailer may be saying that the contents are the truth. Interesting.
"Epic". Again, I can only appeal to the dictionary's definition, which is "heroic, majestic, impressively great". I am unsure as to what this is meant to mean. Given the reverse of the page, perhaps we can glean... I'll raise the point again in my next paragraph.
I googled the first line of the poem. It is, in fact, an extract from Robert Frost's (whoever he is) poem "Acquainted with the Night". It sounds vaguely meaningful, but I struggle to care. However, I do note the use of "I" - a personal pronoun, aye? Perhaps, then we can conclude that the outside of the paper may refer to the person who sent the envelope? Hence, in this case "epic" makes a lot more sense. They paint themselves as heroic, majestic and impressively great, perhaps for their deeds in the city. What stupid nonsense; I've outwalked city lights.
"Eunoia I". At first, I figured this may be an anagram; however, or another use of personal pronouns. Given "Aporia II", however, this is unlikely. Thus, we can conclude "I" is a Roman numeral. Simple enough. "Eunoia" is a word my dictionary does not have, so I consult an online dictionary. Which also does not have it! So, I googled it. It is rarely used to indicate good medical health, and it also says something wishy-washy about building goodwill in rhetoric.
The circle-with-a-line-through-it. Again, I have nothing. No real meanings there.
God, I'm fed up with doing this crap after one damn envelope. I'll do the other one after I, y'know, do something meaningful.
Those who feel epic and acquainted with the night? Who pride themselves on being free of deceit?
