When Venator, representing the cybercosm, confronts Matthias, Rydberg of the Fireball Trothdom, in Guthrie House, Matthias speaks, then:
"The heavy voice was silent for a moment. Outside, wind gusted and the rain against the house seethed." (p. 330)
We never escape from the wind in Poul Anderson's texts.
Venator thinks of Guthrie's Centaurian colony as "...a sign in heaven." (ibid.) (Revelation 12:1.)
And the Bible comes a close second.

Kaor, Paul!
For a man who thought of himself as being at least mostly agnostic, Anderson used or quoted from the Bible an amazing number of times!
Ad astra! Sean
