Introduction There are many diaries in the world of literature and there is too many to name but here is several that we thought were good we hope you enjoy our presentation.
Passage from Samuel Pepys diary Here is a passage from Samuel Pepys' diary: Lay long in bed, it being a fast-day for the murder of the late King; and so up and to church, where Dr. Hicks made a dull sermon; and so home, and there I find W. Batelier and Balty, and they dined with us, and I spent all the afternoon with my wife and W. Batelier talking, and then making them read, and particularly made an end of Mr. Boyle’s Book of Formes, which I am glad to have over, and then fell to read a French discourse, which he hath brought over with him for me, to invite the people of France to apply themselves to Navigation, which it do very well, and is certainly their interest, and what will undo us in a few years, if the King of France goes on to fit up his Navy, and encrease it and his trade, as he hath begun. He made his diary as a new year resolution and died on the 26th may 1703.
Come, Sweet Deathby Brianna Rose Burton This is a passage from her diary: Come softly, love,think not of death nor shadows,but light less vaguethan dreams that embrace you.Descend beyond, sweet love,return, encompass me,for all myself inside yourself,dream always until death.
A royal diary in literature A passage from Marie Antoinette's’ diary: As the introductions were over, the King took my hand and led me to the Dauphin, who I had barely noticed since entering the room. He seemed to be trying his best to hide from view and looked uncomfortable and ill at ease in his suit of white satin, sewn all over with diamonds and gold embroidery and I noticed with irritation that he was scratching at his neck underneath the fine white linen of his shirt collar, leaving red scratch marks beneath his wig.
