Elders And Others
Philosophy II
The Others favor entropy.
Secondly:
"Chimes rang from the bell tower of the University. They played the olden peals, but somehow they sounded at peace."
-Poul Anderson, The Day Of Their Return IN Anderson, Captain Flandry: Defender Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 74-240 AT 21, p. 232.
A happy ending with bells, as in two other works. See:
Amen To The Bells.
I have become involved in something else which is not unrelated to the blog but which will take some time away from it for a while it as well. Nevertheless, back here soon.

Kaor, Paul!
Another appropriate use of bells by Anderson! These bells "sounded at peace" to Commissioner Desai because the crisis that had been brewing on Aeneas, a crisis which might have led to the Empire being "convulsed and shattered" jihad had been thwarted and nullified.
