Description This is the first verse of 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe. It is written in the Gothic style of calligraphy. I intended it to have blue ink, but there was still some yellow ink left over in the nib of the fountain pen I was using when I inserted the blue cartridge.

The splatter in the lower right corner is when I accidentally dropped the pen, but I think it looks pretty cool.

P.S. It's kinda hard to write in a straight line
