Sunset And Evening Star

"Gibraltar Falls."

When Nomura has rescued Feliz:

"Beside them, the ocean roared onward." (p. 126)

In The Guardians Of Time, a double space separates this single-sentence paragraph from the following paragraph. In Time Patrol, the space is emphasized by the presence of three asterisks.

In either case, the following paragraph reads:

"The sunset to which Nomura had leaped ahead was not on anybody's record either. It turned the land golden. The falls must be afire with it. Their song resounded beneath the evening star." (p. 127)

I have linked to previous sunsets and evening stars. See also Tennyson's (scroll down) "Sunset and Evening Star." (Some of his nautical terms require explanation.) (See also The Morning Star.)
