Thatch and tiles were whirled through the air like dead leaves in autumn. Meanwhile the sky was obscured with dust, and the roaring of the storm drowned the outcries of the vic- tims, reminding him of " the wind called Go, which, on the last day, will sweep all created things before it into the abyss. ' ' The removal of the Court in 1180, by the all-pow- erful Kiyomori, the famine and pestilence in the fol- lowing year, and the earthquake in 1185, supply Chomei with further matter to moralize u...pon. No- where could there be secure contentment so long as one had anything to lose. To be in favor with the powerful was to live in continual fear, "like the Kamo no Chomei's "Story of My Hut" sparrow that builds too near the eagle's eyry. " On the other hand, the poor man was insulted by his wealthier neighbors, and was wretched because he could not afford to gratify the desires of his wife and family. The townsman was exposed to such dangers as he had described ; but, should he remove to the country, he suffered many privations because of the bad roads and the numerous robbers.
