Marcus Tullius Cicero "Letters to Friends" CVIII To Lucceius:
Coram me tecum eadem haec agere saepe conantem deterruit pudor quidam paene subrusticus, quae nunc exprimam absens audacius, epistula enin non erubescit
I have often tried to say to you personally what I am about to write, but was prevented by a kind of almost clownish bashfulness. Now that I am not in your presence I shall speak out more boldly: a letter does not blush.
