Fast Bound

The Avatar, XXXIII.

Joelle remembers a chaplain quoting not only from the Bible but also from the Book of Common Prayer:

"'- fast bound in misery and iron -'" (p. 286)

However, this brief quotation from the BCP seems to be from Psalm 107: 10, in any case. See also here.

A Note on Anderson's Use of the Bible by Sean M. Brooks

The Bible on The Blog (this has not been kept up to date)

It is beyond my power to list all of Poul Anderson's references to the Bible. How many are there in this single novel to begin with?

Kaor, Paul!

I only called my piece a mere "Note" because Anderson quoted from or alluded to the Bible so many times that it would be very difficult to list them all.

I also have a copy of the 1978 version of the BCP, mostly because I wanted easy access to the Anglican 39 Articles.

Ad astra! Sean
