Pathetic Fallacy In Dalestown

Poul Anderson, Vault Of The Ages, Chapter 13.

As the Lann pursue Carl and his companions toward Dalestown:

"Clouds were boiling over the sky, flying gray tatters of storm, and the wind's keening rose yet louder. The storm was coming with giant strides." (p. 126)

The storm and the Lann, like the storm and the Huns at the end of Anderson's The Sorrow Of Odin The Goth.

"'Oh, it's bad, it's very bad.'
"Lightning blazed luridly in the windy heavens." (p. 130)

Anderson learned early to punctuate dialogue with appropriate natural phenomena.
