"'[Flandry] is precisely the type to whom such things occur.'"
-Poul Anderson, Ensign Flandry IN Anderson, Young Flandry (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 193-365 AT CHAPTER TWELVE, p. 280.
Maybe some characters sense who the central characters are?!
As Flandry listens to his enemies discussing him and his activities, the winds loudens, signifying a growing threat. When Ydwyr dismisses Morioch, wishing him a good hunt, the sky darkens, lightening flames, thunder bawls, wind yammers, rain gallops and its drops smoke...
Pathetic fallacy lives in Anderson's works.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteA growing threat first to Flandry, and then, unbeknownst to Ydywr the Seeker, to MERSEIA itself? We both know the Terran was to be a uniquely formidable and successful enemy of the Roidhunate!
