Quote by Charles Dickens

I was reminded that today is Charles Dicken’s 200th birthday so thought to post one of his quotes. This is one of my favorite authors.

 

“An idea, like a ghost … must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.”

Charles Dickens 1812 – 1870.

Inkwell Legacy

Reminiscent of a
time when inkwells
held secrets of
auspicious authors

when they dipped
their quills
inside and with
a flourish of
script containing

dots and crosses
left their legacy
to span time
connecting their
hearts and souls to
ours

Inkwell

An inkwell is a small jar or container, often made of glass, porcelain, silver, brass, or pewter, used for holding ink in a place convenient for the person who is writing. The artist or writer dips the brush, quill, or dip pen into the inkwell as needed or uses the inkwell as the source for filling the reservoir of a fountain pen
