Full Of Days

By searching the blog, I have discovered that Poul Anderson used the Biblical phrase, "full of days,"  at least twice. See:


This came as a surprise. It is possible to find many details in Anderson's works but not to remember them all simultaneously. And that is as far as we go tonight. It is time for me to read Andrea Camilerri. But the search for previously unnoticed details in Anderson's Genesis will continue tomorrow and maybe the day after when I will again visit Andrea above the Old Pier Bookshop.

Kaor, Paul!

And this bit from 3 Kings 16.23 has stuck with me: "But in the time of his [Asa's] old age he was diseased in his feet." An all too true humanizing touch, mentioning how old age comes with failing health.

Ad astra! Sean
