A Dizzying Surmise

What if that fieriest Substance—found so late—
That cousin to the uranium of the sun—
Were proved a cause of all that we have done
And dreamed and been? A source of love and hate,
Vileness and valour, and beauty nobly great!
What if all this, ere Nature had begun
Man's fashioning, lay closed and hidden in one
Miraculous God-sown seed of Life and Fate?

Thus was the Genie of the Arabian tale
Sealed in a vial for a thousand years
Under the ocean, till a fisher's net
Drew forth the vial, and the fisher set
The captive free—but shrank amazed and pale,
When the loosed Afreet towered against the Spheres.

My cousin visited and we wanted to do something together online. Decided to hunt for a site with good vibes and rewards. Found site. This one’s from the UK and has heaps of games, plus bonuses like free credits and loyalty perks that make it worth sticking around. No doubt, the variety of slots and offers kept us going.
