Petals in the Ashes (2004)
“Walked thence and saw all the town burned, and a miserable sight of Paul’s church, with all the roofs fallen and the body of the quire fallen …’ On Friday and Saturday the move back into the City began, for the lethargy that had fallen on everyone had somewhat passed, and by then most of us were anxious to see what remained of London now that the fire was halted, and whether or not anything survived of our homes.
