"In awe he felt a sense of that measureless river which he could swim but on which she could only be carried from darkness to darkness." (IX, p. 98)
A literary sentence worthy of Wells and previously discussed more than once. See here. (Scroll down.) I hope that anyone who searches the blog will be able to find a wealth of such quotations from Anderson's works.

Kaor, Paul!
A wealth of quotable lines and passages from the works of Anderson? Absolutely!
WE CLAIM THESE STARS is rich such texts. Such as the beginning of Chapter I, Aycharaych's Hordian comments on when the Empire might fall (in the same chapter). Flandry's anxious reflections about the ultimate fate of Admiralty Center, his comments to Kit about "Manuel's Empire being the Indian summer of Terran civilization," Aycharaych's stunning PITYING of immortal God, etc. And others from the same novel
Ad astra! Sean
