[For Eleanor Loughnan
Newton] Thorn, soft as that letter speaketh of our breathy lot, was pulled from
English sometime Shakespearewards. Dipthong dipped long ago to no great alarm
amongst readers. Eth met its death. Contenders continue to arise for 27th
letter of the English alphabet. Is #metoo a word? This innocent question has no
ready answer. A sign has turned into a letter out of necessity, a
computer-generated cipher improving English between computers. What hash will
be left behind should someone introduce a better letter of transmission? Only
time telleth in this the January of Online of which I speaketh.
