the sky is dark
the storm rages on
at onigashima
a blue dragon roars
a legion of beasts howl madly
at habu port
a shower in late autumn passes
and maple leaves turn red

"She (Kiku) had not been prepared for what soon became obvious: clearly the Anjin-san desired the Lady Toda, though he hid it well as any civilized person could hide it. This in itself was not surprising, for the Lady Toda was most beautiful and accomplished and, most important, she alone could talk with him. What astounded her was that she was certain the Lady Toda desired him equally, if not more."
- Shōgun by James Clavell
