Explore "Lines on a Typewriter" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Having received a letter from a gentleman done with a typewriter, and glorying in its superiority to the pen, we replied as follows: --
You glory in your typewriter, / And its virtues you rehearse, / But we prefer the old inditer, / For to write either prose or verse.
And let each man work his will, / But never never do abuse / The ancient and glorious quill / From the wing of a fine old goose.
