Ice men

To my office all the morning, after I was up (my wife beginning to make me lie long a mornings), where we sat till noon, and then dined at home, and after a little with my workmen to my office till 9 at night, among other things examining the particulars of the miscarriage of the Satisfaction, sunk the other day on the Dutch coast through the negligence of the pilott.

ice beginning
to lie till noon

the little men
of night go mining

scar the unother
through negligence


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 4 October 1662.
