A very nice anonymous quote about the alphabet. Test for alternating gouache colours directly on the nib.

Gouache on sketch paper, written with a Speedball nib.

Is that the entire quote? It looks like it is cut off, if so, could you tell me what the whole quote says?

Thanks for your faves.
The quote reads "Twenty six pillars of strength on which our culture rests". I found the quote as is; because it's anonymous I had trouble finding the source text.
I eventually found this:
"More powerful than all poetry
More persuasive than all science
More profound than all philosophy
Are the letters of the alphabet
Twenty six pillars of strength
Upon which our culture rests"
attributed to Olof Gustaf Hugo Lagercrantz, Swedish author and critic (1911-2002)
