I have been writing with a vile old pen the whole week, which is excessively ungallant. The fault is in the Quill. I have mended it and still it is very much inclin’d to make blind e’s. However these last lines are in a much better style of penmanship though a little disfigured by the smear of black currant jelly, which has made a little mark on one of the Pages of Brown’s Ben Jonson, the very best book he has. I have lick’d it but it remains very purple. I did not know whether to say purple or blue, so in the mixture of the thought wrote purplue which may be an excellent name for a colour made up of those two, and would suit well to start next spring.

- John Keats

This is like the funniest thing in the world to me for so many reasons

• noted Romantic poet complaining about his pen being leaky like a petulant two year old
  
• also spilling jelly on his friends book
• and immediately trying to cover it up by LICKING IT #relatable 
• “purplue”
• indigo, john
• the word you are looking for is ‘indigo’

this is the Joke that just keeps giving because

• not knowing the word for indigo when he LIVED WITH MR. INDIGO HIMSELF !!! 

Oh my god that addition
