— This is from that period of adolescence, the romantic, poetic period when the Muse takes it upon herself to visit exclusively at night, and in those days you were supposed to sleep at night. So, this pencil is used as a plastic tube, into which I shoved a battery, a bulb, an ink tube, and two bottle lids as a switch . It's a very convenient thing. You can hold it under your pillow and use it. For all the youthful, dreaming poets. It's recommended that you keep a pen, pencil, and some paper under your pillow, and when the Muse comes to you in the middle of the night and someone is snoring away in the next bed — it's difficult to meet the Muse in such a situation — you can get this out, a very focused light, and record the results of her visit without bothering anyone.
