II.vii.139

The image shows a page from a book with most of the text blacked out, creating a blackout poetry effect. At the top of the page, a handwritten date and page number are visible. Throughout the page, only a few words and phrases remain uncovered, standing out against the dark lines. The overall appearance is of a heavily redacted document with select words intentionally left visible, creating a new, abbreviated text from the original content.
