Verdurous

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, a Japanese sci-fi anime, describes humanity going through several ice ages before it branches into an advanced space civilization and space-adapted monsters. The Earth becomes a water planet with some survivors in a flotilla.

It is now the 26th of November of 2013. I am undecided if I am more like Arthur C. Clarke, Samuel R. Delany, Olaf Stapledon, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, or Larry Niven, but I prefer these scenarios depicted as futurology. Somewhere amongst them is the near truth.

The hill was blanketed in verdurous grasses.

The verdurous pasture...

a hall stood; o’er whose roof Fair clinging weeds with ivy pale did grow, Clasping its gray rents with a verdurous woof, A hanging dome of leaves, a canopy moon-proof.
