An office day, and in the afternoon at home all the day, it being the first that I have been at home all day since I came hither.
Putting my papers, books and other things in order, and writing of letters. This day my Lord set sail from the Downs for Holland.
An off day, an in day,
a be-at-home day.
I am my things.
I let this day down.

Ice in the fir
came paper-thin—
a sail from Holland.
