Orbit 3:
"The author says this story is a 'polytropic paramyth' - a sort of
literary Rorschach test, in which different people may see different
things. It was inspired by a line in Henry Miller's Big Sur and the Oranges of
Hieronymus Bosch,
which Farmer quotes from memory as follows: "There are diamonds born
during the night in violent storms." See what it means to you; then try
it on your friends."
