Italian translation:si rifugiò in quella boccetta di pillole
Explanation:
a me quel "crowl into" dà l'idea dell'entrare in un luogo che viene percepito come rifugio. Con questa espressione si mantengono i due registri: quello "fisico", adombrato dal termine inglese, di un movimento concreto, e quello metaforico del rifugio psicologico.
