    I read this just fifteen minutes or so ago, and was so struck by it that I wanted to preserve it. It's a footnote in Boswell's Life of Johnson, in which I've now gotten as far page 1300. Forgot to show the pen, which is a Pilot Elite with De Atramentis Purple Document Ink.

    Found a beautiful Moore 94A Art Deco pen in a junkshop. It had a broken tine on the nib and couldn't be used. So I'm trying various nibs from my repair box.

    Here's a squirrelly flex unit that gets away from me. Quotes from Lewis Carroll.

    Done with a newly restored Sheaffer OS Balance, early 1930s, Marine Green, left oblique nib. Ink is Diamine Sherwood Forest

    P'raps by coincidence, the "darkling plain" quote appeared in a film I just watched: The Burnt Orange Heresy, with Claes Bang, Elisabeth Debicki, Donald Sutherland, and Mick Jagger. An artsy noir thriller.

    There are variations on this quote. My Dad jokingly says it often now that his 90 year old memory is so short.
