There is no reason to prioritize the verbal over other forms of communication. No reason to construct a hierarchical structure of language with the Word at an impassable height. By God, this Tower of Babylon shall be torn down in a communicative frenzy! For to kiss someone's neck, from the ear to the collarbone and back, can be as communicative as writing a love letter. Indeed, an epistle of the romantic genus obtains its levels of intensity not seldomly by alluding to deeds like kissing, making love, and falling asleep on the other's sweaty buttocks in exhaustion. Whether it be anticipated or completely imaginary, the sheer activity implied in a love letter comprises its fundamental significance.
