How does Edward Seidensticker use imagery in The Kagero Diary: A Woman's Autobiographical Text from Tenth-century'?

Example of Imagery:

When I think of the old days, it must not have been love, but just his basic lustful nature that brought him to me, not letting wind or rain stop him; now when I think about it, since there was never a time when I felt really secure, my expectations have been exaggerated—ah—to think he wouldn't let wind or rain get in his way, that's no longer something I can expect, and so I spend the day gazing out, sunk in brooding thoughts."
