Brief aan onbekend 1830 - 1870

This letter was penned by Sabine de Standish-de Nouailles in the 19th century. The script itself becomes a potent symbol. The act of writing, the careful formation of letters, echoes the broader human impulse to communicate, to bridge distances of space and time. Consider how the gesture of writing—the hand moving across the page—reappears across centuries, from ancient scribes to modern novelists. The quill or pen becomes an extension of the self, channeling thoughts and emotions. This act carries a powerful psychological charge. Just as handwriting uniquely expresses personality, so does this letter reflect the long history of human connection through written words. The fear of giving "trop de moi", too much of herself, speaks to the universal human struggle with intimacy and self-revelation. The cycle of vulnerability and exposure, a recurring motif in human interaction, is here etched in ink. The act of communication, once linear, continually resurfaces, transforming and echoing across time.
