     "But it's interesting how most of these things originated
      long ago, and maybe four or five years later they're
      regurigated into an idea," she continues.  "Like _Cloudbusting_
      [on the _Hounds_of_Love_ LP] - that was originally from a book
      I read nine years before I wrote the song!  It struck me very
      deeply, but it took a long time to be able to step back enough 
      to write the song, because it was a very powerful experience 
      for me."

It's late and I'm tired but this sounds very much like it could
have been the genesis of _The_Ninth_Wave_.
