Keith Denison and Manse Everard had accompanied an Aryan band as it trekked from the Don over the Hindu Kush. Everard:
"...remembered steppes and enormous skies, a windy gallop after antelope and a feast by campfires and a certain girl whose hair had held the bittersweet of woodsmoke. For a while he wished he could have lived and died as one of those tribesmen."
-Poul Anderson, "Brave to Be a King" IN Anderson, Time Patrol (Riverdale, NY, December 2010), pp. 55-112 AT 2, p. 61.
Ivar Frederiksen spends time among Aenean tinerans and in the company of a girl called Fraina:
"She's so vivid. Everything is. I never knew I could feel this fully and freely, till I joined wanderers."
-The Day of Their Return, 8, p. 133.
Two men from high tech civilizations spend time with migrants. The difference is that Ivar comes to think that he can stay there.

Ivar's a lot younger and less experienced.
Deffo.
Kaor, to Both!
Also, those nasty little creatures called "lucks" were telepathically battening on the tinerans, artificially stimulating and amplifying their emotions, and making them SEEM more vivid. The tinerans had become addicted to these creatures.
Ad astra! Sean
Manic-depressives often can't bear to take their medications when they're "up", because everything feels flat and dull if they do -- which is to say, normal.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
So these "lucks" were telepathically stimulating the tinerans to be manic-depressives?
Ad astra! Sean
