AtDTDA 37 1060 The terrible flood of time 409

In the set-up for Merle reaching across the waters to his 
daughter. . . .

          ". . . .setting forth against the Enemy Wind", 

. . . .we are reminded of:

          "Walloping Wellesianism!" cried the Professor, "it's just a whole 
          junkyard full!" Up and down the steeply-pitched sides of a ravine 
          lay the picked-over hulks of failed time machines—Chronoclipses, 
          Asimov Transeculars, Tempomorph Q-98s—broken, defective, 
          scorched by misdirected flares of misrouted energy, corroded often 
          beyond recognition by unintended immersion in the terrible Flow 
          over which they had been designed and built, so hopefully, 
          to prevail. . . . (p.409)
