Wearingeul A Dream Within a Dream Fountain Pen Ink — 30 mL

Wearingeul A Dream Within a Dream takes Edgar Allan Poe’s meditation on impermanence and renders it in a pale, dreamlike lilac-violet with shifting blue and pink tones and fine shimmer. It is deliberately ethereal rather than saturated.

Recent user reports consistently note that the ink can appear quite light in ordinary writing, especially in finer or drier pens. Broad and stub nibs, wetter feeds, and less absorbent paper reveal the color separation and shimmer more clearly. Because the base is pale, legibility is part of the pen-and-paper choice rather than a fixed property.

Ink character

• Color: pale lilac / pink-violet with blue separation
• Shading: medium, with visible color separation
• Sheen: not a primary effect
• Shimmer: fine metallic shimmer
• Flow: best in a wetter pen
• Best suited to: journaling, headers, quotations, broad and stub nibs

The softness is part of the idea: a color that seems to recede even while you are looking at it, much like the poem’s uncertain boundary between possession and loss.
