Sean Brooks suggested in the combox that a recent
post could have ended with the conclusion of Anderson's "The House of Sorrows" which quotes from Lamentations
1 and
5 in a timeline where the Jews had been unable to return from Babylon. I agree and also apologize for brevity here. Places to be. Things to do.
Onward and upward.

Kaor, Paul!
Exactly, I still recall how, the first time I read "The House of Sorrows," the fictional lament composed for the story by Anderson immediately reminded of the Book of Lamentations. And I reread Lamentations 1 and 5.
I agree with Anderson's premise for "House," the disappearance of the Jews had tremendous and catastrophic consequences for the world in that timeline. Mankind did not break out of the futility of polytheism and a true science was never developed.
Ad astra! Sean
