Another quote opens the story: "Foundering between eternity and time, we are amphibians and must accept the fact." (Aldous Huxley). And one other quote - great lines for the opening to the story: "She had followed him across the galaxy. Twice" This is very competent space/time adventure, with touching love story spanning ages and light-years. review: 18-Jul-06 (read in 1987) ---------------------------------------------- "A Scarab In The City Of Time" © New Dimensions # 5, 1975 --/ cool sf story "The State Of The Art On Alyssum" © New Dimensions # 7, 1977 --/ fourth place sf story --/ wonder award --/ style award --/ rare find ----------------------------------------------
