"Then she was kissing him and he was kissing her and in the ceiling sky display the morning stars sang together." (p. 274)
See Job 38:7.
On reflection, I realized that this phrase was Biblical but would not have been able to quote chapter and verse. How much literary wealth is embedded in Poul Anderson's texts without being recognized as such?

Kaor, Paul!
Dang it! I never thought before, in my previous readings of THE FLEET OF STARS, of how "...the morning stars sang together" was taken from Job 38.7. Yes, there were many times when I did not recognize such riches of literary allusions in the works of Anderson.
