Abstract
This article comes from the need to make explicit the theme of the letter in its use in the constitution of the being of speech and its correlation in the establishment of love. A love that is inscribed when the letter summons something from the being to the literality, enabling, simultaneously, a place for the subject as well as for an emptiness that constitutes it, permanently. From Freud we can foresee a flirtation with literature and its letters. Lacan extends this course to other arts by delineating the indispensable function of the letter in the constitution of the subject of speech and the advent of love. From this legacy I aim to go through the question of love with the emptiness that is never filled from the inscription promoted by the letter. It is stated in this article the importance of sustaining for love something that will always escape the significant function, although it must be written in order to exist. From this perspective opens a way of sustaining a place for love where the contingency of encounter does not undo and the subjects can play with the making of their letters.
