It is said with proper imagery given by a poet that they have done well. Can you see the storm here?

Pounding waves fight back the pushing wind

Nowhere near the shore.

Howling noises round about my head

Silence is abated evermore.

White caps  too many to count

and too far out

Busy seas caress the evening star

to quiet the stormy shout.
