Quill
A quill is a writing tool made from a moulted flight feather (preferably a primary wing-feather) of a large bird. Quills were used for writing with ink before the invention of the dip pen, the metal-nibbed pen, the fountain pen, and, eventually, the ballpoint pen.
As with the earlier reed pen (and later dip pen), a quill has no internal ink reservoir and therefore needs to periodically be dipped into an inkwell during writing. The hand-cut goose quill is rarely used as a calligraphy tool anymore because many papers are now derived from wood pulp and would quickly wear a quill down. However, it is still the tool of choice for a few scribes who have noted that quills provide an unmatched sharp stroke as well as greater flexibility than a steel pen.
Examples of use of quill pen
1. The bill was laid open by a blue–uniformed, gold–braid–bedecked member of a local historic militia company, beside a quill pen and inkwell.
2. Need me to sharpen your quill pen for you?" You know the sort of thing; those of us who have survived for years without a mobile phone have to put up with it all the time.
3. He said after the ceremony was over that the legislature was likely to override the veto, and that he believed it was a political gesture made by Romney with a presidential run in mind: "He‘s looking to the horizon now."

4. It should be June 15, the day in 1215 when rebel barons sat their king down at a sturdy table and several sheets of parchment, wrapped his unwilling fingers round a quill pen and said, "‘S‘about time your will was bound by law, the church was safeguarded, proto– parliamentarianism began to stir and we got our sodding lands back, so sign there, John, or we‘ll break your face." But, if that medieval constitutional documentation, commonly known as the Magna Carta, has vouchsafed us any useful principle at all, it is that 27% of survey respondents should not be allowed to speak for a country.
5. "Home, & someone to take care of house" he wrote in quill pen "Charms of music & female chit–chat – These things good for one‘s health." Then he paused, and added, darkly: "But terrible loss of time." The doubt didn‘t delay him long however, as he went on to answer his own question: "My God," he wrote, "it is intolerable to spend one‘s whole life, like a neuter bee, working, working, working, & nothing after all – No, no, won‘t do." "Imagine living all one‘s day solitarily in smoky dirty London house," he went on, before adding, sweetly, "Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music perhaps." Then he added, with a shudder: "Compare this vision with the dingy reality of Grt.
