Pen: Wing Sung 3008 with Lamy 1.5 nib.

Ink: Pelikan 4001 royal Blue with a drop of Sepia, although it looks like the residue of the precedent drop of Rouge Hematite to me... A mistake in my notes probably.

Paper is a Notami notebook by an Italian brand called Red in Blu.

Same pen, ink, and paper.

"This is the way the world ends"

 

--The Hollow Men (Eliot)

 

Sorry, it's my job....

And since we are on Eliot (thanks to RBNB), how about these lines from Prufrock:

 

And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.

"This is the way the world ends"

Sorry, it's my job....

It's always the same mistake. Every single time. Every.Single.Time. That same damned word since high school. I've given up hope in remembering it correctly by now.

Going on with the assumption that lyrics can be compared to poetry (some of my professors would strongly argue in favor), here are two lines from "Unstoppable" by The Score. I heard it at the end of the new Power Rangers movie.

Pen: Wing Sung 3008 with Lamy 1.5mm stub nib.

Ink: Rohrer and Klingner Salix with, at the beginning, a drop of Pelikan Royal Blue. You can notice this because the start is faded and there's not much shading.

Paper: Notami notebook.

 

 

These lyrics are from Tinchy Stryder ft. Amelle - Never Leave You.

Pen: Wing Sung 3008 with Lamy 1.5 stub nib.

Ink: Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red with a drop of Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue first and a drop of RK Sepia.

Paper: Notami notebook.

Thank you for writing and posting that verse from Emily Dickinson.

It's the first time that I've read it. Very nice.

BTW: I love the Diamine Kelly Green in your pen.

When I was in middle school, I was in chorus in 6th and 7th grade (dropped out in 8th grade due to a scheduling conflict -- only getting to have art twice a week the first half of the year was bad; only having *home ec* twice a week the second half of the year meant I probably would have flunked...). But one of the songs we did when I was still in chorus was that Emily Dickinson poem which someone had set to music.

I've liked it for over 40 years.... No clue at this point of course as to who wrote the music for it.

Another experiment with inks. At a first glance, I thought this poem was about the arrival of summer, so the triumph of joy and life and harvest. But nope, it's about the decline of the prime of life and of the fugacity of happiness. EDIT: This is not the whole poem.

I put this together - this is what I referred to in post #253 of this thread. I have had it done up for a while, just got it scanned today.

Guys I found a beautiful poem in my Norton Anthology of English Literature. It's absolutely great, the rhyming pattern is top notch in my view.

Pen: Pilot Pluminix B.

Ink: Diamine Kelly Green.

Paper: Clairefontaine.

My Italic is still all over the place. The N is too round, the T is too tall, the Z is too curved, the E is too tight. I mean, I'll re-write these lines in the future, maybe in a more subdued color and bigger stub? Well you'll see more of Mary Robinson from me, I assure you, hopefully in a better style.

Thank you for posting such a fine poem and for the beautiful handwriting. I am impressed and happy to read it.

Too kind! My Italic is so miserable, I strive to improve it.

And the poem is lovely, very teachable too.

 

Addendum:

Tried to write the first stanza of January 1795 in cursive and... meh. I still have to get used to writing with a fine stub nib.

I'm not sure this is the complete stanza, since I was abruptly interrupted when the ink started leaking.

Again acting on the assumption that lyrics are(because contrary to what youth write on social media "lyrics" is a plural noun, thank goodness I remembered one thing correctly..) lyrics are on the same plane of existence as poetry, here's the first verse of the nice, swing song All that Glitters by Earl.

Back to actual poetry! I found this poem on poetryfoundation.com and really liked it, so I used it for Italic practice.

I found a nice fun poem. I wrote down the first stanza and the title in typeface (because of....reasons...)
