It had, wrapped up inside it, a sense of forsaken beauty, grand achievement, and a feeling of power that was terrible and almost ultimate."158 "Since ancient times, amber has been an object of value and mystery. . . . Part of the mystery of amber is its ability to become electrically charged when rubbed with a soft cloth."159 Amen The god Amen, the only god, shall be with thee. -- E.A.
