The Song
C.J. Cherryh also wrote a song about the story of the Merchanter series, named "Finity's End" a decade before the novel was published. The song was recorded by the filk musician Leslie Fish and published together with other songs from Cherryh's universe on an album with the same name in 1985.
The song was reworked into a story of the history of the free software movement in 2007 and released as "Infinite Hands" under the GPL and other free licenses with permission of Leslie Fish and C. J. Cherryh.

Famous quotes containing the word song:
“Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Come dame or maid, be not afraid,
Poor Tom will injure nothing.”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 11–12)
