(urth) planetary problems

[Marc Aramini]

Thanks Jeff.  Wow, I don't know what to do with those quotes, but I feel like they are important, very important to understanding what happened to Lune.  "Time runs as we ask here, and we like their light"  Sounds too godlike in its implications to really get my mind around without really paying attention to the physical description of Yesod.  Has anybody tried to explain why Apheta's face is up there?  "when we require them, the hierogrammates will build more"  ugh.

URTH XXIII: "Somewhere behind or before us, above us or below us, was a wide circle of light, spinning, frantically spinning, a thing like Lune, if such a thing as a moon of the most brilliant white can be imagined. Gunnie fluttered across it once or twice before she was lost in the diamond-decked blackness. (And once it seemed to me—and still seems when I call that frantic memory forth—that I saw Apheta's face as she leaned from that moon.) "

Urth XLVIII: "I had thought never to behold Apheta again. In that I had been mistaken, for I saw her that night, looking down from the sky just as she had looked down at me when I had left Yesod with Burgundofara. I blinked and stared, but soon saw only the green disk of Lune."

'When we require them, the Hierogrammates will build more—worlds as fair as this, or more fair. Suns for them too, should we require more suns. Thus for us they are there already. Time runs as we ask here, and we like their light.'
