Imagine how quiet it was in the land, <br /> when communications were written by hand, <br /> and people were reading, or sharing at night <br /> by kerosene lamp, or a candle's soft light. <br /> The world's greatest music, and verses that rhyme <br /> bear witness that once, folks had plenty of time. <br /> Their letters were deep, with a personal touch, <br /> and manu-scripts still were accepted as such. <br /> Philosophers, scientists were able to think <br /> and left their impressions handwritten in ink. <br /> Today ' cross the nation the "steel-fingers" click. <br /> Good-bye inspiration! The keyword is "Quick!" <br /> Although the production increases each day, <br /> we have less and lesser of value to say.<br /><br />Maria Forster DeJ<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/quill-and-ink/
