A Final Pathetic Fallacy

After a lot of fighting, Davis Bertram has finally been accepted and welcomed as a Man so what happens? Women lay their weapons at his feet and:

"'Welcome,' said a voice. 'Welcome, Man.'
"The sun swung from behind Minos and day burned across watery wastes and the far eastern mountains."
-Poul Anderson, Virgin Planet (London, 1966), Chapter XIX, p. 147.

At the exact moment when the fighting ends and he is welcomed, the eclipse ends; the wastes and the world are lit. The figurative day burns not the Atlanteans - who have just been threatened with a blaster gun - but the problems that had been caused by their planetary isolation.

Where other authors would give us just a full stop, Anderson follows it with an appropriate Pathetic Fallacy which we momentarily notice before reading on to find out what happens next.
