    No, not Scribo either,

    In fact, not an Italian ink.

    The poem is, in a roundabout way a clue.

    Pilot Iroshizuku Tsutkushi (Horsetail)

    Seems appropriate given the poem but truthfully this seems a bit obvious

    See posts 12205/6

    It still isn't an Iroshizuku ink

    In fact, it's not a Japanese ink.

    I am going to go off-grid a bit here -

    Van Dieman's Hollywood Series - My Fair Audrey

    mainly because I just ordered a sample.

    Not Van Dieman's (My Fair Audrey's a nice colour though!)

    This is an ink that could be described as legendary.

    Hmmm

    The only legendary ink I know of is Parker Penman Mocha???

    (and I still have just a tiny bit of Sapphire left)

    How about Montblanc Le Petit Prince and the Aviator Sand in the Desert?

    It's not Mocha - out of interest, I just compared my swatches (I still have one bottle left!) and this one is definitely a bit warmer, and slightly less yellow.

    Sand of the Desert is warmer still - it has a positively red cast by comparison.

    Think more about legendary legends than legendary inks...

    Montblanc Homage to Victor Hugo?

    For a few minutes you had me wondering if Montblanc did an ink for Emily Dickenson. . . but Organic Studios did one for her and the ink is pink.

    And Montblanc James Purdey is much yellower than your sample writing - yeah I missed out on that one.

    Not a Montblanc ink.

    The maker of this ink is probably better known for their pens, especially those made from precious metals. They've been around for about forty years.
    The clues in the poem and sketch are about the name of the ink, rather than the maker.

    You doubt correctly.

    However, you have headed to the right(ish) part of the world - for the name at least, rather than the manufacturer.

    Not quite tangential enough - wheat is part of a larger discipline (for want of a better word). If you know what this is, the legend (or myth) might become clearer).

    And not quite the right country yet (for the name at least).

    The maker of the ink and its name are separated somewhat more than 5,500 miles

    Never seen them - though I love the names - I want Dorian Grey quite badly!!

    This ink is not from North America.

    So it's an European European fountain pen brand... inks are made in Australia or Taiwan?

    Only the name is European. The brand (and inks) are from the Far East, and are made there as far as I know.
