Sunset

Harvest The Fire, CHAPTER 4.

Jesse Nicol composes a poem that begins:

"The sunset throws a road across the sea..." (p. 82)

Poul Anderson writes:

"The sun, become a red-gold shield, was on the horizon. Glade blazed from it across the waters." (p. 84) 

Tawiri says:

"'We were going to swim down the sunset road...'" (ibid.)

Nicol, Tawiri and Ianeke are on an upper deck of the Okuma 'Olo, a floating town like Delfinburg where van Rijn has a mansion and an office in the Technic History.

Kaor, Paul!

Again, that baffling and idiosyncratic use of "glade" by Anderson!

Ad astra! Sean
