Sandbox: An Observed Correspondence

Dear Intellect,
We have found something worth fighting for!  We have seen the face that launched a thousand ships!  Our muse, who we once thought a fickle, fey creature who graced us with ideas at times and laughed at our attempts to continue without her, for whom we have been seeking:
We have found her!  We have found our muse and we have found her to be fair beyond measure!
She graces us with her presence.  She stays at our behest.  She grants us our request.  She pours the water of life and beckons us to quaff thereof!  We have tasted the sweet nectar of the insight she provides!
How can you restrain us from any effort to pursue, to spend but one more moment in the majesty of her presence, to damn the torpedoes, drop everything, and go to her?
Please.  Let us fly to her.  Let us throw caution to the wind.  Let us brave all dangers, let us slay the dragon, climb the tallest tower, let us sweep her off her feet as she did to us before we had even realized.
COME ON, MAN!  SERIOUSLY!
I am having difficulty conveying the emotions surging through me with mere words.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!
FREAKIN' CUT ME SOME SLACK HERE!

P.S. Even if he hasn't brought it up to you yet, Heart is on my side in this matter.

Dear Gut,
When you said "water of life," was that a reference to the Bible or a reference to Dune?

Esteemed Colleague,
Your input is appreciated and will be taken into consideration.
You and Heart have been spending too much time with Romanticism.  Would you harm others to secure your muse?
Yes, she has been dancing through our head, but that is no reason to reject Reason.  There exist commitments and obligations, connections that force the delay.  But absence makes the heart grow fonder.
In essence, suck it up and deal.
Have patience.  Reason and I have decided that she's worth it.
Final Arbiter of All Decisions,

P.S. Caps Lock is not cruise control for cool.
P.P.S. Nerdiness, it is bad manners to read mail not intended for you and even worse manners to ask trivial questions after so doing.  I shall reprimand Latent Creepiness later, since he is the one who likely intercepted the mail and showed it to you.  Besides, I would think that the phrase references neither of the options you provided.

Dear Cohabitants,
Hello, again.
Amused by your antics, as usual.  Love the bit where we're pretending this actually was physical correspondence such that Nerdiness' response was indeed a breach of protocol.

  1. I feel like I know the inspiration for a few of these. But it is also bad to assume too much.
