I was a sailor  I was born upon the tide And with the sea, I did abide

I sailed a schooner round the Horn to  Mexico Went aloft and furled the

mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got

killed

But I am living still

 

I fly a starship Across the Universe divide And when I reach the other

side  I'll find a place to rest my spirt if I can  Perhaps I may become a

highway man again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain

But I will remain

 

I'll be back again and again and again and again

Great quote, though I am not sure Robert Frost lived 139 years (or is that “2” a “7” that I am not recognizing?😃)

Seven. Sometimes written at breakneck speed....you start at two and change to seven.

Yes, lovely. I am trying to teach myself to write with my right hand in hopes that someday I can create a pointed-pen hand about half that beautiful.

If you are a left-handed writer you are already at an advantage over right-handed writers for pointed pen calligraphy. Just use a straight pen holder or a flexy fountain pen.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of that. I'll start with a flexy fountain pen, and go from there. I am a bit of side-/underwriter, so I often struggle with smearing before the ink is dry, but I agree, given the strokes needed for a flexible, pointed pen, underwriting seems quite feasible.

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

      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
