The message from Josh Ryman rises higher:

Did you hear the story behind that cover?  This comes from an interview
with Jon Anderson that I have on tape somewhere.  He said that at the
time they were not a happy band.  The cover had been designed to have
something called a "Tor" on it (something like the Egyptian pyramids)
and a man with devining rods looking for water or "magical things", as
Jon put it.  Someone in the band was upset at the time and threw a
tomato at the cover.  The band decided to take a picture of it and use
that as the cover since it rather described the feelings of the band at
the time.
