"the inherent connection in the archaic society betwen the expanding sector
of priviledge and the expanding sector of the sacred. Privilege is
prestige, and prestige, in its fundamental nature as in the entmology of the
word, means deception and enchantment.
[...]
Power was originally sacred, and it remains so in the modern world."
*Life Against Death* N.O.Brown; Wesleyan U. 1959; p.252
This logical connection can take you a long way through GR. The rocket is
power, and sacred. The powerful need only to let us get a glimpse now and
then. Power is dazzling!
