Quote 244 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And for these three or four days I perceive my overworking of my eyes
by Candlelight doth hurt them, as it did last winter.  That by day I
am well and do get them right---but then after candlelight they begin
to sore and run---so that I entend to get some green spectacles.
		-- Pepys' Diary, 13 Dec. 1666
