The piece is based on cyclical material of melodies and chord progressions. The title is taken from the following quote:
We have diverse curious clocks, and other like motions of return... We have also houses of deceits of the senses; where we represent all manner of feats of juggling, false apparitions, impostures, and illusions... These are (my son) the riches of Salomon’s House. —Francis Bacon, The New Atlantis, 1626
