Speech Flies Away, Written Words Remain

The latin phrase 'Verba Volent, Scripta Manet' is translated to 'Spoken Words Fly Away, Written Words Remain'. The phrase suggests written agreements are more established than oral ones. Conversely, an alternate title 'The Hand Imitates The Minds Travel', alights differences between action and disembodied assertion.

A separate colophon text footnotes the newspaper and alludes to the position 'titles' take more broadly in culture.
