a wall's quiet way of saying this is mine and that is yours.
means A space that has been fenced, walled, or otherwise shut in, or the act of closing something off — including a paper tucked inside an envelope.
from From Latin 'includere,' to shut in (in-, 'in,' plus 'claudere,' 'to close' — the same root behind 'close' and 'cloister'), arriving through Old French 'enclos.' In English it carried both the small sense (a letter sealed within a letter) and the large, contentious one: the historic 'enclosure' of once-common fields into private, hedged plots — a literal walling-off of 'ours' into 'mine.'
