Blue Tit Pen Duo

‘This tiny son of life; this spright, / By momentary Human sought, / Plume will his wing in the dappling light, / Clash timbrel shrill and gay — / And into time's enormous nought, / Sweet-fed, will flit away’, from ‘The Titmouse’ by Walter de la Mare (1873-1956)

A pretty set of two ballpoint pens presented in a pretty, co-ordinating gift box, decorated with a contemporary, painterly design of a blue tit and pale pink chrysanthemum flowers. Once known as a ‘titmouse’, a name used for a number of small birds, the name derives from the Old English ‘titmase’ or ‘titmose’; recorded since the 14th century the name became ‘titmouse’ and then, shortened to ‘tit’, with the bird’s colourful plumage earning it its popular name today. A symbol of industriousness, hope and good fortune, blue tits are a much-loved garden bird, echoed in Walter de la Mare’s (1873-1956) poem’s reference to the bird as a ‘tiny son of life; this spright’. Make note-taking a pleasure with tactile and convenient pens; each featuring a click mechanism and smooth-flowing black ink.
