More Pagan Experience

A Midsummer Tempest, vii.

See Roots Of Paganism.

"Meanwhile Rupert said, to those twain who were like swirls and currents in the moonlight that poured around him..." (p. 50)

"Oberon trembled, like moonglow on a lake when the breeze passes over." (p. 52)

Thus, the Fairy King and Queen are (like) personifications of moonlight.

Kaor, Paul!

At least HERE we don't see Anderson's baffling and idiosyncratic use of "glade," as in "moonglade." Instead we see "moonglow," which is less confusing.

Ad astra! Sean
