Surf And Wind

"Inconstant Star," Chapter VII.

The Saxtorphs and Tyra Nordbo sit in the room overlooking the sea. See the previous post. Tyra's brother, Ib, appears life-size in a screen with behind him a glimpse through a window of the Drachenturm in Munchen.

Brother and sister cannot agree. When they have ended the contact and his image has vanished:

"The surf and the wind resounded through silence." (p. 218)

As ever in Poul Anderson's works, the wind comments.

Kaor, Paul!

Here, a mood of anxiety and somberness.

Ad astra! Sean
