A Yellow Leaf

A Stone In Heaven, XIV.

The trees and leaves are not just in the picture (see Fall In The High Sierra):

"...they stood facing in the nave made by trail and trees. A yellow leaf blew down and settled in [Banner's] hair." (p. 234)

She echoes Chee Lan in the concluding chapter of Mirkheim. See The End Of A Stone In Heaven.

Welcome to February on the Poul Anderson Appreciation blog where we have finished rereading A Stone In Heaven but not the Dominic Flandry series.

Kaor, Paul!

And we also see Flandry using the metaphor of bright autumn leaves in Chapter VIII of HUNTERS OF THE SKY CAVE, but for a much more melancholy reason than here!

Ad astra! Sean
