Draught In A Spaceship And Wind From Mountains

The wind is a pervasive presence in some of Poul Anderson's texts. It punctuates dialogue, functions as a pathetic fallacy and sometimes becomes almost a participant in the action as when it whips Dahut in Ys. There is no wind in a spaceship but there might be draughts and:

"A ventilator murmured not only with draft but with a barely heard rustle, the distance-muffled sound of wingbeats from crewfolk off duty cavorting in an enormous hold intended for it."

-"Lodestar," p. 641.

Ythrian wings move a lot of air. They are The People of the Wind.

Anderson has sensitized me to interventions by the wind in the works of other authors, e.g.:

"Then the wind came in with Bart and blew the vase of roses from the table. I stood and stared down at the crystal pieces and the petals scattered about. Why was the wind always trying to tell me something? Something I didn't want to hear!"

-Virginia Andrew, Petals On The Wind (London, 2011), p. 435.

"How strange the wind wasn't blowing when I stepped out the door..."

-ibid., p. 443.

"...I can hear the cold wind blowing from the blue-misted mountains so far away."

-ibid., p. 486.

I noticed these three references only because of reading Poul Anderson.
