Another Temporal Corridor

Sometimes we trace a single word or phrase through several works. We learned that Poul Anderson did not originate the phrase, "the corridors of time." See "Through The Corridors Of Time." We have also observed that another author, Susan Howatch, has employed two variations on this phrase. See Lost In The Corridors Of Time. And here is a third variation:

"It was the past, the uncomplicated past seen far away at the end of the golden corridor of nostalgia, the rural simple world of yesterday untouched by the clamour of a thousand industrial machines, the roar of international revolution and the steady ruthless progress of science."

-Susan Howatch, Cashelmara (London, 2005), I, 3, [2], p. 35.

Howatch's narrator wants to escape down that corridor, away from the issues addressed by science fiction. These temporal corridors have taken us away from Poul Anderson but not entirely away. The basic common themes are humanity and change.
