And of course I just had to go look and of course here is one for $45. Free shipping! And probably mice have been living in it for decades and the carriage return is frozen solid and all the type bars are permanently glued in place.
Nonetheless I place its picture here in hushed reverence, so that I may gaze upon it from time to time and remember the terrible poems (sonnets! villanelles! sestinas!) and woeful essays I wrote thereupon in my ardent teens and twenties. Besides, surely my tendons now would never withstand the ferocious pounding with which one had to belligerently depress its forest-green keys, approximately one cubic meter of leaden weight per letter.
Good GOD it’s after NOON already will you please WRITE ALREADY. Quit wittering on about où sont les typewriters of yesteryear and just WRITE!
