This
discovery
haunted
us
.
We
followed
it
in
preference
to
all
our
studies
.
We
worked
with
it
,
we
tested
it
in
more
ways
than
we
can
describe
,
and
each
step
was
as
another
miracle
unveiling
before
us
.
We
came
to
know
that
we
had
found
the
greatest
power
on
earth
.
For
it
defies
all
the
laws
known
to
men
.
152
It
makes
the
needle
move
and
turn
on
the
compass
which
we
stole
from
the
Home
of
the
Scholars
;
but
we
had
been
taught
,
when
still
a
child
,
that
the
loadstone
points
to
the
north
and
that
this
is
a
law
which
nothing
can
change
;
yet
our
new
power
defies
all
laws
.
We
found
that
it
causes
lightning
,
and
never
have
men
known
what
causes
lightning
.
In
thunderstorms
,
we
raised
a
tall
rod
of
iron
by
the
side
of
our
hole
,
and
we
watched
it
from
below
.
We
have
seen
the
lightning
strike
it
again
and
again
.
And
now
we
know
that
metal
draws
the
power
of
the
sky
,
and
that
metal
can
be
made
to
give
it
forth
.
153
We
have
built
strange
things
with
this
discovery
of
ours
.
We
used
for
it
the
copper
wires
which
we
found
here
under
the
ground
.
We
have
walked
the
length
of
our
tunnel
,
with
a
candle
lighting
the
way
.
We
could
go
no
farther
than
half
a
mile
,
for
earth
and
rock
had
fallen
at
both
ends
.
But
we
gathered
all
the
things
we
found
and
we
brought
them
to
our
work
place
.
We
found
strange
boxes
with
bars
of
metal
inside
,
with
many
cords
and
strands
and
coils
of
metal
.
We
found
wires
that
led
to
strange
little
globes
of
glass
on
the
walls
;
they
contained
threads
of
metal
thinner
than
a
spider
s
web
.

These
things
help
us
in
our
work
.
We
do
not
understand
them
,
but
we
think
that
the
men
of
the
Unmentionable
Times
had
known
our
power
of
the
sky
,
and
these
things
had
some
relation
to
it
.
We
do
not
know
,
but
we
shall
learn
.
We
cannot
stop
now
,
even
though
it
frightens
us
that
we
are
alone
in
our
knowledge
.
155
No
single
one
can
possess
greater
wisdom
than
the
many
Scholars
who
are
elected
by
all
men
for
their
wisdom
.
Yet
we
can
.
We
do
156
We
have
fought
against
saying
it
,
but
now
it
is
said
.
We
do
not
care
.
We
forget
all
men
,
all
laws
and
all
things
save
our
metals
and
our
wires
.
So
much
is
still
to
be
learned
!
So
long
a
road
lies
before
us
,
and
what
care
we
if
we
must
travel
it
alone
!
157
Many
days
passed
before
we
could
speak
to
the
Golden
One
again
.
But
then
came
the
day
when
the
sky
turned
white
,
as
if
the
sun
had
burst
and
spread
its
flame
in
the
air
,
and
the
fields
lay
still
without
breath
,
and
the
dust
of
the
road
was
white
in
the
glow
.
So
the
women
of
the
field
were
weary
,
and
they
tarried
over
their
work
,
and
they
were
far
from
the
road
when
we
came
.
But
the
Golden
One
stood
alone
at
the
hedge
,
waiting
.
We
stopped
and
we
saw
that
their
eyes
,
so
hard
and
scornful
to
the
world
,
were
looking
at
us
as
if
they
would
obey
any
word
we
might
speak
.

And
we
said
:
159
We
have
given
you
a
name
in
our
thoughts

What
is
our
name
?
they
asked
.
