Thank you eesmith for sharing this. That was a wonderful story I would have never heard of if not for you! For others that are interested I did find the second part (The Story of Heart's Desire [0]) available online.
You're welcome. I am rather fond of Cordwainer Smith's science fiction writings. (I've been idly curious about his other works, but never pursed that path.)
They have a special feeling to them that is quite unlike other SF I've read.
