I saw a flie within a beade
Of amber cleanly buried.

The bee enclosed and through the amber shown
Seems buried in the juice which was his own.Martial
Amber light
Of this new morning,
Amber light,
Clear, bright and warming.
Overnight
The Earth adorning...
Amber light,
A New Age is dawning....Mike Oldfield
Into a mouth shut flies flie not.
George Herbert
I think you should cut and cut cleanly. The time has come.
Ferdinand Edralin Marcos
Or almost like a spider, who, confin'd
In her web's centre, shakt with every winde,
Moves in an instant if the buzzing flie
Stir but a string of her lawn canapie.Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas
