Bradbury explained his intentions in connection with this play as a protest against great thinkers with great ideas demanding absolute excellence. He sets it in the bleakness of the future as an old man remembers the little pleasures of yesterday. He suggests, If we took all the junk out of life our juices would dry up, the sap would go dead in the trees and we'd occupy an intellectual graveyard where we'd read each other's headstones.
