Pen Lovers Opera Act 1..{Anyone remember who did it}

From me memory.........

HELP {Beatles}

 

Help, I need some pens Help, not just any pens Help, you know I need some pens HELP!

 

When I was younger, so much younger than today I used a plastic ball point pen and then threw it away

But now those days are gone and I'm more self assured And now I find I've changed my mind.....

fountain pen's the word

 

Help me if you can I'm feeling down And my fountain pens can bring my mood around

Help me get my collection off the ground

Won't you please, please, help me

 

And now my life has changed in oh..so many ways My spending money seems to vanish in the haze

When I buy vintage pens I feel so insecure I spend my time these days online, on Zoss, E-Bay and more

 

Help me if you can I'm feeling down And my fountain pens sure swing my mood around

 

Help me get more pens to spread around

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me...........

There once was a man who said, 'Damn!

It is borne in upon me I am

An engine that moves

In predestinate grooves,

I'm not even a bus, I'm a tram.

I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull

that it nauseated me.......

Sweet are the uses of adversity,

Which like the toad, ugly and venomous,

Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

And this our life, exempt from public haunt,

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,

Sermons in stones, and good in everything.........

 

AS You Like It

RoyalBlueNotebooks, that is a lovely translation! Is it your original, or where did you find it?

 

I like it almost better than the original:

EDIT: I think there should be a comma in line 5, after the verb "predigen"

Riverrun, past Eve and Adam's from swerve of shore to bend of bay,

brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs....

...When fishes flew and forests walked And figs grew upon thorn Some moment

when the moon was blood Then I surely was born With monstrous head and

sickening cry And ears like errant wings, The devil's walking parody

On all four footed things.

The Donkey

 

G.K. Chesterton 1874-1936

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
