Delta
Isaac Newton
Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Isaac Newton was the
genius's genius of the 17th century.
Newton is clearly the most influential scientist who ever lived. His
accomplishments in mathematics, optics, and physics laid the foundations
for modern science and revolutionized the world. An 18th century
poem written about Sir Isaac Newton states it best:
"Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton
be! and all was light."
- Alexander Pope.
There is a popular story
that Newton was sitting under an apple tree, an apple fell on his head,
and he suddenly thought of the Gravitation Law. No one knows
if this is true, but there were apple trees on his family's property, and
one of them may well have inspired him.
Delta, the artisans of
writing instruments, have decided to dedicate their first limited edition
of the new century to the "artisan of Science" Sir Isaac Newton.
