Now bleus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust: sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail
, and rested, letting the steersmen and the breeze take over the excerpt from The Odyssey.
