I don't think it was, Cedric, according to what I looked up on Wikipedia.

Cheers for that Sporran.

See I think the Inklings was the basis for this film.I know a few folk blethered about their art to each other.But as a literary group.........I could be wrong.I love this thought,cos I have found ma personal Dead Poet 'Inkling' Society in the Literature Section of the org.Thanks to ye all.

Now a certain orger's eyes are twinkling,
He's just found he's got The Inkling!
What will he do with it I dare not ask.
For he has taken on a mighty task!

When the mind begins to comprehend.
He will find he's going round the bend.
For The Inkling leads to many other things.
Has many pitfalls and as many strings.

So good folk heed this warning.
Else you'll be sleepless til' the morning.
When The Inkling holds you very tight,
It's the moment to take flight.

So do not be like others that do stray,
Down The Inkling's devious way.
For if along that road you travel.
Be prepared if things unravel.

I'm reading a book about Tolkien just now and his son mentioned The Inklings it reminded me of the guys in the cave reading poetry and their own stuff to one another in Dead Poets Society.I have ma Inklings here on the org.
