The Pen Scribbles

My pen, it scribbles: this is hell!
Have I been damned to have to scribble?-
I dip it boldly in the well
and write broad streams of inky drivel.
See how it flows, so full, so pure!
See how each thing I try succeeds!
The text's not lucid, to be sure-
So what? What I write no one reads.

-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science (trans Adrian Del Caro)



Have I mentioned that I really like Nietzsche?
