       In the beautiful October passage (p. 177) there is an expression
       "underbite of the day". How do you understand it?

       I thought it was a play on words: bite as in biting cold. Of

       it's deliberate. So I used rimorso (remorse) a word which
       contains bite, and biting (cold) but that means something else
       to convey that vaguely estranging sensation of the original
       F

       Oh, that would make sense! The chill that is kind of "hidden" in
       the air, not yet hitting you directly like it does when it's
       freezing in winter...
