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

 

I like it almost better than the original:

 

It was a good find. This page was in my bookmarks but I didn't remember why. When I opened it, I remembered.

The previous post put me in mind of...

 

fpn_1600623652__49856a68-f927-4802-9834-

 

...this quote :)

 

Sorry the pic’s a bit big - I think that my next uploaded image ought perhaps to be set to the next size down from this one.

Foul in clear conditions, but handsome in the fog.

I am genuinely surprised that, in the 1754 previous posts to this thread, nobody has yet included this quote...

:D

 

The famous line of dialogue that I quoted is certainly true of the equipment that I used to write it - a Pelikan M805F filled with Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite.

Equally fitting is the fact that the hamfisted inelegance of my rushed scrawl is, sadly, itself an exemplary illustration of the barbarity of the current times :yikes:

The minstrel boy to the war is gone

In the ranks of death you'll find him His father's sword he hath girded on

And his wild harp slung behind him........."Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard

Tho' all the world betrays thee One sword..at least..thy rights shall guard

One faithful harp shall praise thee! The minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain

Could not bring his proud soul under The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again

For he tore its chords asunder

And said" No chains shall sully thee Thou soul of love and bravery!

Thy songs were made for the pure and free

They shall never sound in slavery

 

Redactin'..Chief, Hear You Loud and Clear

      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

      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
