A couple more quotes from my English literature notes. Wordsworth had some strong opinions about poetry. Okay, just joking, I imagine being one of the strongest promoters of Romantic literature isn't easy, especially after the age of Enlightenment.

Pen: Wing Sung 3008 with Lamy 1.5mm stub.

Ink: Diamine Kelly Green.

This inky experiment didn't go well. I had to re-drop the ink into the breather hole a second time, and I only got a short window of color variation. Such a pity, I was hoping for a smoother transition.

I found this great Latin quote. I don't know if this the correct translation, I found on the Internet with no author referenced.

Very powerful and inspiring quote I jotted down in-between my English Literature notes. The Edinburgh Review is an historical literary magazine, an authority on what the public was to read in the 18° and 19° centuries.

I would think the judge (and the prosecutor) would be especially condemned when the innocent is found guilty.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I would think the judge (and the prosecutor) would be especially condemned when the innocent is found guilty.

Unfortunately in those times the technique of detection was rudimental to put it mildly.

There was even a pseudo-science that developed a theory according to which criminality was genetic and it was a trait that showed up in the posture, and especially in the proportions of the cranium and the face.

Such convinctions made it very easy for the innocent to be found guilty. Also a person in prison was supposed to confess their sins to be awarded a more swift execution, so people made up horrible acts in order to appear as penitent as possible.

 

Anyway, I agree with you.

 

 

 

Here Mr. Godwin is talking about his Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams.

I don't remember the pen but the ink is Diamine Blue-Black from the standard line.

Kind words by Sir Walter Scott about Jane Austen's writing style. I love when my favourite authors speak highly of each other. : )

Thanks for the heads-up, Fred. I just saw the interview. I don't imagine any more of the big talk shows called his agent after that. I'd like to get into the wayback machine, head straight to 1942, and have Veronica Lake fawn over me the way she would William Saroyan 29 years later.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
