Under the gun

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Dave Bonta

erasure of a page from Samuel Pepys' diary

[In the gun, an excellent doctrine of St. Peter.
I spur myself to be afraid,
to hear little,
and understand without going to see.]


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 29 January 1659/60.
