Bad Storm Coming

Aftonbladet kallar den "monsterstormen", Expressen "extremstorm", Svenska Dagbladet "adventstormen", medan DN nöjer sig med "hårt väder". Den förefaller sakna namn, utan går under täcknamnet "Berits lillasyster" - att det är småsyskonen som är värst visste jag sedan tidigare. Det här är ur dikten "The Hurricane", av William Cullen Bryant:

Darker—still darker! the whirlwinds bear
The dust of the plains to the middle air:
And hark to the crashing, long and loud,
Of the chariot of God in the thunder-cloud!
You may trace its path by the flashes that start
From the rapid wheels where’er they dart,
As the fire-bolts leap to the world below,
And flood the skies with a lurid glow.

What roar is that?—’tis the rain that breaks
In torrents away from the airy lakes,
Heavily poured on the shuddering ground,
And shedding a nameless horror round.
Ah! well known woods, and mountains, and skies,
With the very clouds!—ye are lost to my eyes.
I seek ye vainly, and see in your place
The shadowy tempest that sweeps through space,
A whirling ocean that fills the wall
Of the crystal heaven, and buries all.
And I, cut off from the world, remain
Alone with the terrible hurricane.
