Duplications

Sometimes, while rereading a work by Poul Anderson, I find a passage that I would like to post about but then search the blog and find that I have already posted about it. This happens increasingly frequently, of course. At other times, I post first and search second. This can result in some duplications, e.g.:

Three Senses On Nike (21 April 2018)

Three Senses On Nike (8 June 2025)

Just over seven years between them so, of course, I had forgotten the first post. But there are some slight differences between the two posts so maybe both are worth preserving? The first post links to many others through the short story, "Eutopia," which takes us from a future history series to alternative histories. History is an important aspect of Poul Anderson's works which also include ordinary historical fiction in which, e.g., explorers into Northern waters find not Utgard or the World Serpent but icebergs. It is all one multiverse.

  1. Using all the senses is a way of making a scene vivid.

  2. Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

    One of my senses, hearing, is very deficient. Which can be somewhat coped with via hearing aids.

    Ad astra! Sean
