Ink Written on New Paper

Figuratively: engraved in memory. In a clear manner. Remember well. The opposite expression "Ink Written on Erased Paper" implies a blurred memory. Not remembered well.

(Elisha son of Avuya says: The one who learns as a child, to what is he likened? To ink written on new paper. And the one who learns old, to what is he likened? To ink written on erased paper. - Avot 4:21)
