Pilgrims and the peas
Woodward, G. M. (George Moutard), approximately 1760-1809 · May 1, 1807
In the illustration to Peter Pindar's Apologue of 'The Pilgrims and the Peas,' the disconsolate sinner, with hard peas in his shoes, is crawling along, doubled up with agony, to the shrine at Loretto, meeting halfway the joyful pilgrim, who has accomplished his penance, 'whitewashed his soul,' and returned from his journey without personal inconvenience.
