Time capsule

At the office all the morning, so dined at home, and then abroad with my wife by coach to the Theatre to shew her “King and no King,” it being very well done. And so by coach, though hard to get it, being rainy, home. So to my chamber to write letters and the journal for these six last days past.

Morning and the road
get me to write letters—
an urn for the last days.


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 26 September 1661.
