Wind And Dead Leaves

Late at night, I read other kinds of fiction and find parallels with Poul Anderson. Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, Book Two, "The Dark Knight Triumphant," ends with:

a silent panel showing the Moon above the roof of a building that we realize is Wayne Manor;

a panel showing Bruce Wayne looking out a window with a caption, "The wind rises, tearing dead leaves free";

a silent panel with a flying bat outlined against the Moon above the roof;

Wayne at the window with a caption, "Frogs croak like a cartoon car alarm. Crickets pick up the chorus";

the bat has nearly flown past, the tip of one wing still outlined against the Moon - caption, "A wolf howls";

Wayne at the window - caption, "I know how he feels."

Not all relevant but some of it is: rising wind and dead leaves and maybe we think of Steve Matuchek?

It is nearly midnight. Good night.
