The Choirmaster’s Pursuits

11 June 2024 – Sheaffer Inferno

A very old company, Sheaffer. They’ve been making pens and ink for 111 years. Here’s their version of Inferno. If you tell me I have to pick one book besides Scripture to have on a deserted island, it’s Dante’s La Divina Commedia.

Sheaffer Inferno
Virgil guides Dante through Inferno
“Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost, Nel mezzo cammin di nostra vita mi introvai per una selva oscura, che la dirrita via era smarrita.” –Dante, The Divine Comedy (Inferno I.1)
