Storming now heaveth the deep sea with foam,
Yet would I gratefully lie there,
Willingly die there.”

“Autumn is no time to lie alone”

The Tale of Genji

“Just as a vessel caught by the Pleiads on the foaming deep and kept safe only by its anxious helmsman’s care cleaves unharmed the sea that contending winds make boisterous, so Pollux warily watches the blows.”
Spumanti qualis in alto Pliade capta ratis, trepidi quam sola magistri cura tenet, rapidum ventis certantibus aequor intemerata secat, Pollux sic providus ictus servat.
