Novel
Twice in Time
- by Manly Wade Wellman
- Startling Stories, May 1940
Inventor Leo Thrasher, perhaps the last modern-day Renaissance man, builds a machine to throw him back to Renaissance Italy, where he plans to leave his mark as a painter. Once there, he’s taken under the wing of Guaracco who views him as a potential rival, but still sees a use for the time traveler. When Leo’s memory of future wonders begins to fade, Guaracco pulls 20th-century memories from Leo’s subconscious via hypnotic interviews, somehow even managing to pull out (among other more mundane things) a working pair of wings for Leo to fly over 15th-century Florence.
But suppose this me is taken completely out of Twentieth Century existence—dematerialized, recreated in another epoch. That makes twice in time, doesn’t it?

I enjoyed how he wrote out his visions in quatrains.
I enjoyed how he wrote out his visions in quatrains.
The most of them despairing and forlorn,
Upon the soil their lives will be supported
While hope shall flee.. . .
