From
the hard times when quills were only present in rooms of writers and men of
business, to the days of the ubiquitous biro. Pens have taken the world by
storm throughout human history ever since aborigines first acquired that
chisel-shaped stone. Though surely, all the writers of the earth since day one
will have had a desire to procure for themselves a grand pen, far superior to
that which their contemporaries possess. It is a sign of literary power to hold
in one’s possession a pen that lets flow only the darkest, thickest of ink.
Thus, I leave before you a table. A table containing only the most exquisite of
pens that should be sufficient for displaying the incomparable writing ability
that is bursting to bleed from your fingertips.
First (moving from left to right in the grid), we have the illustrious Premier
Monochrome by parker. Its 18K gold nib plated in black ruthenium creates a
strong and easy-flowing ink trail. This pen would allow your hand to move
freely across the page with no difficulty. A true master of the writing
universe. Not only this, however, but the engraving patterns as finishing
touches means that wielding the pen would induce a heavy feeling power into
your hand. For, remember, the power is in the hand, not just the head.
Next in line is the Edson from Waterman; a French company, indeed promising
elegance and eloquence. The gloriously-rounded ends, including the nib, offer a
certainty that you shall have a euphoric writing experience. With its precious
resin material and 18k gold nib should surely make its master feel more than
comfortable swooping from word-to-word on every last page. The Edson would be
perfect for displaying a grand skill that could give even Shakespeare the
chills.
Thirdly, a lesser form of grand pens, though grand none-the-less. Gold plates
and matt black lacquer assembles, forming a distinctively beautiful design. The
nib is malleable enough to mould its own design to fit your own handwriting
style. This would, without a doubt, enhance your writing experience every time.
This nib is weaker than others (hence why it becomes progressively more suiting
to the writer’s holding position) which mean detriment if dropped on its head. Although,
it could therefore be easier to shift back into place.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever just tried a simplistic, though
sublime, quill? Of course, it requires an ink well and is also susceptible to
fire, but a feather of any bird would serve as a perfect pen. Though one might
require a quill slightly more reliable than a DIY feather. Thus, venture to the
online world and purchase a quill with a steel nib – far easier to draw ink
from and far stronger than a feather. The quill is a classic and a tool of
Shakespeare, so do consider attempting a verse or two with one of these writing
implements. Does much more need be said of a quill? Indeed, it does not, and I
hereby conclude the article, wishing you adieu and wisdom when making a
selection.
