He witnesses destruction and loss in the city from "summary" of The Diary of Samuel Pepys by Samuel Pepys
During these troubling times, I have observed with my own eyes the devastating effects of the plague on our beloved city. The streets that were once bustling with life and activity are now eerily quiet, with only the sound of mourning and despair filling the air. The once vibrant neighborhoods now lie in ruins, their inhabitants either dead or fleeing for their lives. As I walk through the desolate streets, I see houses boarded up and marked with the dreaded red cross, a grim reminder of the lives that have been lost to this terrible disease. The stench of death and decay hangs heavy in the air, a constant reminder of the suffering that has befallen our city.
I witness families torn apart by grief, their loved ones taken from them without warning or mercy. The once bustling marketplaces are now empty, their stalls abandoned and their wares left to rot. The city that once thrived with commerce and culture now lies in ruins, its people struggling to survive in the face of such overwhelming loss.
As I bear witness to the destruction and loss that surrounds me, I cannot help but feel a profound sense of sorrow and despair. Our city may be brought to its knees by this terrible plague, but I hold out hope that we will emerge from this dark chapter stronger and more united than ever before.
