#spin on quote from Wired Lain

[room-665]

Why are you crying, Zane? Because you deleted yourself from everyone's memory? But, Zane, isn't that what you wanted all along?

[autolovecraft]

I knew from old papers that that watch had been striking.

The printless road was very lonely, and the lonely remember. Only once in a loose antique costume, and the books were hoary and moldy, and felt that these old Puritan folk might well have Christmas customs strange to me, silently spinning despite the festive season. I looked at that unhallowed Erebus of titan toadstools, leprous fire and evergreen, light and music. They insisted that this was Kingsport, and coating the nitrous stone with a dread not of this or any world, but because an old people, the eerie columns slithered, and I knew it lay just over the hill's crest I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the road's crest when I came upon it, and the whir of the devil-bought hastes not from his loose robe a seal ring and a spinning-wheel.

As the road at its crest a still higher summit rose, bleak and windswept, and the skin was too much like wax. I must wait a while before I could be led to the semi-circle he faced. There was a hideous proof, because I had never seen but often dreamed of. I pushed on through the snow. There were lights inside the house opposite, so that the night before, let footprints tell what they might; and their pungent odor of decay grew quite unbearable. And against the clearing sky and the people had come, I would have hid the rails in any case. No one spoke to me. What mainly troubled me was that the soul of the town, to where Green Lane, with an ancient peaked roof and jutting second storey, all built before 1650. It was the only one paragraph, put into such English as I did not listen for merriment or look for wayfarers, kept on down past the creaking signs and antediluvian gables, the thin, whining mockery of a gibbet in the wind had not left much snow, a few patches did remain on the ghostly spire. An indefinite dampness seemed upon the place of the viscous vegetation which glittered green in the dark, suffocating crypt. In the twilight I heard another sound, the old town beyond, I could not deny it.

This was not a wire overhead. There was a burying-ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and adore the sick pillar of flame, and worst of all, the eerie columns slithered, and shuddered doubly because it was indeed not new to me, perhaps because of phrases I dare not quote. Only once in a corner, and the Dog Star leered at the throng of celebrants the cowled figures seized and mounted them, and I saw from the library of Miskatonic University.

This was not a wire overhead. Soon they became excessively numerous, like impious catacombs of nameless menace; and when I staggered to my troubled eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. They had hanged four kinsmen of mine for witchcraft in 1692, but only of the solid rock. At the hospital stood near the door of the blue-eyed fishers. Beside the road that soared lonely up to where the signs of ancient shops and sea taverns creaked in the wind, and I saw them do the rite of fire and slimy water, and pressed by chests and stomachs that seemed abnormally pulpy; but something I found in that aged town of curious customs. I should come back, the old man was pulling at my sleeve, but fats and instructs the very book I had chosen to walk, for most of the hill past monotonous walls of dripping stone blocks and crumbling mortar. The old spinning woman had gone with the low stone doorstep wholly free from snow.

And because my fathers had called me to this festival by the writings of my fathers had called me to St. Mary's Hospital in Arkham, where there were no houses, I could not deny it. Everything was wrong, with an ancient peaked roof and jutting second storey, all built before 1650.

There were lights inside the house when I still hesitated he pulled from his loose robe a seal ring and a few windows without drawn curtains.

The high-backed settle faced, as if they were scattered, and people in the dark, stiff, sparse furniture of the things that the suddenness of his motion dislodged the waxen mask. I was determined to be performed. There were lights inside the house opposite, so that I should be blazing. And now they were real. Only once in a loose antique costume, and felt that these old Puritan folk might well have Christmas customs strange to New England I had better get any harassing obsessions off my mind. Crossing the threshold into the dark, suffocating crypt.

But what frightened me most was that the soul of the seventeenth century. Then I noticed that the walls and steps were changing in nature, as if they were scattered, and was reading intently and shudderingly when the old woman's spinning-wheel.

It was the true deputy of my fathers had summoned me to the semi-circle he faced. The old maps still held good, and unsuspected, there flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that the myriad footfalls made no sound and set up no echoes. Beside the road at its crest a still higher summit rose, bleak and windswept, and across the fresh snow on the path near the old man was pulling at my sleeve, but only the rituals of mysteries that none living could understand. And in the curtained windows. They insisted that this was Kingsport, and the blasphemous book in my hands made it doubly so. No one spoke to me, I flung myself into the moonless and tortuous network of that unlighted river, into pits and galleries of panic where poison springs feed frightful and unsuspected, there flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that the suddenness of his motion dislodged the waxen mask. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and unsuspected, there flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that no sound eye could ever wholly grasp, or sound brain ever wholly remember. They had streamed up the aisle between the stars. They said something about a psychosis and agreed I had never seen, but because an old people, and the books and the Dog Star leered at the left, and soon became tremblingly absorbed by something I cannot and must not recall. I had never known its like before. I had no trouble; though at Arkham they must have been kept very close to its antique state. It was the Yuletide, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and felt again the fear I had better get any harassing obsessions off my mind. Pointing to a chair, table, and I shared all the travelers were converging as they reached the throng of celebrants the cowled figures seized and mounted them, and unsuspected to join Orion and the grotesque knockers of pillared doorways glistened along deserted unpaved lanes in the snow, and the bleakness of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, in Olaus Wormius' forbidden Latin translation; a narrow spiral staircase damp and peculiarly odorous, that men call Christmas though they know in their hearts it is older than man and fated to survive him; and I marveled that no fire should be known and welcomed, for the old churchyard on Central Hill, they sent me to this place, since I saw the cloaked throngs forming a semicircle around the blazing pillar. Pointing to a scarce louder drone in another key; precipitating as it did so I shuddered. The flopping animals were now scratching restlessly at the door; and suddenly there spread out before me the boundless vista of an inner world—a vast fungous shore lit by a belching column of sick greenish flame and washed by a belching column of sick greenish flame and washed by a wide oily river rolled uncanny, unheard, and were old even when this land was settled three hundred years before. And against the rotting wharves the sea pounded; the rite, and the books and the old man drew back his hood over that unmoving face or mask.

[autolovecraft]

The nethermost caverns, wrote the mad spaces between the stars.

Though it pleased me, and sat down on that very bench, so that the night before, let footprints tell what they might; and I observed after a horrible interval that the soul of the beasts were patiently standing by. Pointing to a massive carved chest in a moment on the left in Green Lane, with an ancient peaked roof and jutting second storey, all built before 1650. When eleven struck, however, the eerie columns slithered, and across the fresh snow on the hilltop pavement. I did not listen for merriment or look for wayfarers, kept on down past the hushed lighted farmhouses and shadowy stone walls to where Aldebaran twinkled among the trees; on toward the very ancient hand, and were now squirming noiselessly in. But I was eager to knock at the outside world as the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the path near the old man made a signal to the drifting spar that accident sent to save me.

Past the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the path near the door of my people.

So I read that hideous chapter, and in a while before I could not see him. Out of the windows that the face was merely a devilish waxen mask. I could not deny it. As the steps and the skin was too much like wax.

They told me I had been buried with my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather in 1698. Only once in a moment on the rocks, and coating the nitrous stone with a dread not of this or any world, but I disliked it when I staggered to my feet that the hospital stood near the old fishing town as legend bade, for the more its very blandness terrified me. Everything was wrong. They were not altogether crows, nor vampire bats, nor moles, nor moles, nor ants, nor buzzards, nor buzzards, nor vampire bats, nor moles, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings; but my dreams are filled with terror, because that nightmare's position barred me from the diamond window-panes that it had been striking.

There was an open space around the blazing pillar. Though it pleased me, I looked at that unhallowed Erebus of titan toadstools, leprous fire and slimy water, and were now scratching restlessly at the door of my fathers who had brought, and even lent me their influence in obtaining the carefully sheltered copy of Alhazred's objectionable Necronomicon from the stone staircase down which we had come at last to the semi-circle he faced. Mine were an old people, the eerie columns slithered, and the first stars of evening. They had streamed up the very book I had seen maps of the old man in the light of little, curtained windows.

Fainting and gasping, I looked at that unhallowed Erebus of titan toadstools, leprous fire and evergreen, light and music. At the hospital they told me I had seen it from the diamond window-panes that it had been reading, beckoning me as he drew his hood and pointed to the trap-door of the tartarean leagues through which that oily river that bubbled somewhere to the semi-circle he faced. Then I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the stone staircase down which the throng of celebrants the cowled figures seized and mounted them, and it had been stealthily opened.

The old man stood up, up, the old man's bland face that reassured me; and in a corner, and I had refused when he motioned me to strange feastings, I resolved to expect queer things. I should be blazing. It was certainly nervous waiting, and I had been buried with my family arms, to where Green Lane, with an ancient peaked roof and jutting second storey, all built before 1650. This was not a face at all, but I was determined to be occupied, though I was almost in a while a lantern bobbed horribly through serpentine alleys on its way to overtake the throng of celebrants the cowled figures seized and mounted them, and I shared all the stragglers had followed. And now they were strange, because I had seen it were best forgotten.

I observed after a horrible interval that the tomb's floor had an aperture down which we had come in the streets, and the first stars of evening.

As I hung back, and as the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the hilltop pavement.

I should come back, and the queerness of the hill; and as I did not know just where. Presently the old woman in loose wrapper and deep poke-bonnet sat back toward me, perhaps because of phrases I dare not quote. Then they both started for the outer door; and now I was not much, though the wind outside, and I observed after a horrible interval that the hospital stood near the door creaked open. There was no one—in waking hours—who could remind me of it; so that I could have better care. The high-backed settle faced, as if they were scattered, and till all the charnel legions these pest-gulfs might conceal. So I tried to read, and the aged clock had been reading, beckoning me as he drew his hood over that unmoving face or mask. They told me I had seen it before, and were old even when this land was settled three hundred years before. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, because I knew from old papers that that watch had been stealthily opened. Then the old man drew back his hood over that unmoving face or mask.

This was not sure.

Amid these hushed throngs I followed my voiceless guides; jostled by elbows that seemed preternaturally soft, and a watch, both with my family arms, to prove that he was what he said.

And in the light, and sat down to read I saw not a wire overhead. It was a hideous proof, because I was not afraid long, for only the clamminess of death and corruption.

For in all that seething combustion no warmth lay, but only of the hill; and as the bonneted old woman continued her silent spinning, spinning. It was a burying-ground where black gravestones stuck ghoulishly through the shallow, new-fallen snow along the reaches of that sinuous line of night-marchers seemed very horrible, and things have learned to walk, for not an attribute was missing. At this horror I sank nearly to the old man came back that night to the drifting spar that accident sent to save me. Crossing the threshold into the black doorway, and it had been buried with my family arms, to prove that he was the Yuletide, and wished bitterly that no sound eye could ever wholly remember. Amid these hushed throngs I followed my voiceless guides; jostled by elbows that seemed abnormally pulpy; but seeing never a word. Past the churchyard, where I could not see him.

I must wait a while before I could say, because they had come in the cold dusk to join Orion and the Dog Star leered at the outside world as the thing piped I thought I heard another sound, the terrible Saducismus Triumphatus of Joseph Glanvil, published in 1681, the seventh house on the path near the old man stood up, up, the eerie columns slithered, and adore the sick pillar of flame, out of corruption horrid life springs, and felt again the fear I had seen it were best forgotten. Great holes secretly are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and I saw them wriggling into a venerable tomb they seemed more horrible still. It was the only one who came back booted and dressed in a corner, and the aged clock had been decreed I should be blazing. What mainly troubled me was that flaming column; spouting volcanically from depths profound and inconceivable, casting no shadows as healthy flame should, and in that accursed Necronomicon; a thought and a watch, both with my family arms, to where Green Lane leads off behind the Market House. There was nothing I could not deny it. There were lights inside the house when I fancied I heard another sound, the thin, whining mockery of a high hill in the streets, and got two hooded cloaks; one of the wheel as the lights in the streets below. The church was scarce lighted by all the obeisances because I had taken the wrong fork of the town, and made stiff ceremonial motions to the caves of the solid rock. I was determined to be performed. As I hung back, and till all the charnel legions these pest-gulfs might conceal. But I was not afraid long, for the fathoming of eyes that they bore no mark of passing feet, not even mine. I lost the feeling that there were no houses, I turned once to look at the old man came back that night to the lichened earth, transfixed with a dread not of the festival. I had never seen, but I disliked it when I still hesitated he pulled from his loose robe a seal ring and a legend too hideous for sanity or consciousness, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of sight, but I could not see.

But it was a hideous proof, because that nightmare's position barred me from the diamond window-panes that it must have passed down through the mountain and beneath the earth of Kingsport itself, and I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the hill where the twisting willows writhed against the rotting wharves the sea pounded; the rite of fire and slimy water, and saw the lurid shimmering of pale light, piping noisomely on a flute; and though he made signs that he was the Yuletide, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and wished bitterly that no forefather had summoned me to this shaft of nighted mystery.

I had never seen but often dreamed of. Finally I was sure that the tomb's floor had an aperture down which the people had dwelt and kept festival in the streets, and I could be led to the ancient sea town where my people, the eerie columns slithered, and the aged clock had been gathering in me, I could not deny it. Past the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the hilltop pavement.

[autolovecraft]

I was sure that the amorphous flute-player in the curtained windows.

An indefinite dampness seemed upon the place, since I saw this, and seemed to be occupied, though I was determined to be occupied, though I was not afraid long, for not an attribute was missing. Amid these hushed throngs I followed dumbly down the seaward slope I listened for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific.

For in all that seething combustion no warmth lay, but I could say, that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten. I observed after a horrible interval that the settle faced, as if chiseled out of sight, but I could say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and a spinning-wheel at which a bent old woman was spinning very hard, and a watch, both with my great-grandfather in 1698. The nethermost caverns, wrote the mad Arab, are not appear to men as if they were scattered, and knew where to find the home of my screams could bring down upon me all the stragglers had followed.

The eyes never moved, and the whir of the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. The church was scarce lighted by all the obeisances because I had seen maps of the mad Arab, are not for the old man came back booted and dressed in a very ancient town; went out into the church. What mainly troubled me was that the hospital they told me I had been summoned to this shaft of nighted mystery.

This fear grew stronger from what should have been kept very close to its antique state.

It was the Yule-rite, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than man and fated to survive him; the primal rite. This fear grew stronger from what had before lessened it, for the white village had seemed very beautiful from the library of Miskatonic University. In the twilight I heard a distant horrible creaking as of a gibbet in the chlorotic glare. It was a cavernous fireplace and a legend too hideous for sanity or consciousness, but a fiendishly cunning mask. It had seemed to be the last.

They had hanged four kinsmen of mine for witchcraft in 1692, but I did not like everything about what I saw that the most secret mysteries were yet to be occupied, though the town, and the whir of the season, and I had had.

It was certainly nervous waiting, and the old town beyond, I looked at the top of a gigantic corpse. The old spinning woman had gone with the stylus and wax tablet he carried.

I had seen it were best forgotten. I shivered, for the merry sounds of a gigantic corpse. Past the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the tablet and wrote that he was dumb, he wrote a quaint and ancient welcome with the broad windows showing a sea of roofs in which only about one in five was ancient, and pressed by chests and stomachs that seemed abnormally pulpy; but my dreams are filled with terror, because I knew we must have passed down through the snow. The tail of that cold flame, and adore the sick pillar of flame, out of the solstice and of spring's promise beyond the hill's summit and watch the glimmer of stars on the hilltop pavement. After that I could not deny it. For it is older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Memphis and mankind. When I went delirious at hearing that the soul of the windows that the most secret mysteries were yet to be occupied, though I was not a wire overhead. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, because I knew we must have passed down through the snow. When I sounded the archaic iron knocker I was fully afraid, because I knew from old papers that that watch had been gathering in me, I could have better care. I saw that it was not a wire overhead. Up, up, the old churchyard on Central Hill, they sent me to seize an animal and ride like the decayed fingernails of a gigantic corpse.

Up, up, up, glided to a massive carved chest in a while a lantern bobbed horribly through serpentine alleys on its way to overtake the throng that was now slipping speechlessly into the church. When I sounded the archaic iron knocker I was sure that the settle faced the row of curtained windows disappeared one by one along the road that soared lonely up to where Aldebaran twinkled among the trees; on toward the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and knew where to find the home of my people, and got two hooded cloaks; one of the devil-bought hastes not from his loose robe a seal ring and a few patches did remain on the ghostly spire. The printless road was very lonely, and heard the closing of one of the windows that the most secret mysteries were yet to be the last. Only once in a corner, and the lonely remember. I heard the insidious lapping of sunless waters.

As the road at its crest a still higher summit rose, bleak and windswept, and things have learned to walk, for village legend lives long; so I hastened through Back Street to Circle Court, and I could not deny it. And they were scattered, and I saw when I still hesitated he pulled from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of the ritual they did groveling obeisance, especially when he held above his head. But I was almost in a while before I could not see him. But what frightened me most was that the old man now left the room and the blasphemous book in my hands made it doubly so. Past the churchyard, where there were persons on the ghostly spire. Crossing the threshold into the water handfuls gouged out of the eastern sea was upon me. There was nothing I could not see. When I sounded the archaic stars. But the flabby hands, curiously gloved, wrote genially on the hilltop pavement.

Then the old fishing town as legend bade, for not an attribute was missing.

This was not much, though the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. And then, because they had commanded their sons to keep festival once every century, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and I saw when I came upon it, for the gowned, slippered old man, after picking up the very worm that gnaws; till out of the seventeenth century. An indefinite dampness seemed upon the place, since I saw Kingsport outspread frostily in the light, and felt again the fear I had never known its like before. So after that I did not like the rest. It was the Yuletide, and spoken another tongue before they learned the tongue of the strangeness of my fathers who had brought me now squirmed to a scarce louder drone in another key; precipitating as it did so I hastened through Back Street to Circle Court, and I saw that the books were hoary and moldy, and I had seen it before, let footprints tell what they might; and when I still hesitated he pulled from his loose robe a seal ring and a spinning-wheel at which a bent old woman continued her silent spinning, spinning. Out of the sea pounded; the primal rite of fire and evergreen, light and music.

I had been footprints in the new dusk, and I saw them do the rite, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than man and fated to survive him; the secretive, immemorial sea out of the eastern sea was upon me all the stragglers had followed. When I went delirious at hearing that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten. And when my knock was answered I was strange to me, perhaps because of phrases I dare not quote. The old man was pulling at my sleeve, but that two of the wheel as the lights in the gloaming; snowy Kingsport with its ancient vanes and steeples, ridgepoles and chimney-pots, wharves and small bridges, willow-trees and graveyards; endless labyrinths of steep, narrow, crooked streets, and the lonely remember. Only once in a very ancient hand, and the queerness of the seventeenth century. An indefinite dampness seemed upon the place of the wheel as the thing piped I thought I heard it pounding on the harbor, though queerly failing to cast any shadows.

[autolovecraft]

No one spoke to me, perhaps because of phrases I dare not quote.

And now they were scattered, and worst of all, but I did not like everything about what I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the diamond window-panes that it had made me shiver because Aldebaran had seemed to be performed.

But I was the Yuletide, and rode off one by one along the road at its crest a still higher summit rose, bleak and windswept, and because I had refused when he held above his head that abhorrent Necronomicon he had taken with him; the rite, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than man and fated to survive him; and their pungent odor of decay grew quite unbearable. The upper part overhung the narrow grass-grown street and nearly met the over-hanging part of the sea; flung myself into that putrescent juice of earth's inner horrors before the door; the primal rite. But I was far from home, and soon became tremblingly absorbed by something I found in that aged town of curious customs. Crossing the threshold into the bowels of the silence in that fleeting backward look it seemed to be performed. They told me I must wait a while before I could have better care.

Up, up, glided to a massive carved chest in a moment on the harbor, though the town was invisible in the town, where there were persons on the left in Green Lane leads off behind the Market House. The flopping animals were now squirming noiselessly in. They had streamed up the very ancient town; went out as the bonneted old woman, who was ceasing her monotonous spinning. There was an odd scene, and were old even when this land was settled three hundred years before. The church was scarce lighted by all the charnel legions these pest-gulfs might conceal. Everything was wrong, with an ancient peaked roof and jutting second storey, all built before 1650. Finally I was fully afraid, because that nightmare's position barred me from the light of little, curtained windows at the lichens, and sometimes I thought of the unimaginable blackness beyond the hill's crest I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the hill; and now I was not a wire overhead. I followed my voiceless guides; jostled by elbows that seemed preternaturally soft, and the Dog Star leered at the top of a gigantic corpse.

The old man made a signal to the ancient sea town where my people.

Soon they became excessively numerous, like impious catacombs of nameless menace; and though he made signs that he was what he said.

Beside the road at its crest a still higher summit rose, bleak and windswept, and the people very morbid and disquieting, but a fiendishly cunning mask.

Everything was wrong. And as I can make from the stone staircase down which we had come, I flung myself into that putrescent juice of earth's inner horrors before the madness of my fathers who had founded the Yule worship in this ancient place; that it had been gathering in me, I flung myself into the dark, stiff, sparse furniture of the old fishing town as legend bade, for the fathoming of eyes that they included old Morryster's wild Marvels of Science, the old man's bland face that reassured me; and I had never seen but often dreamed of. As the road that soared lonely up to where the signs of ancient shops and sea taverns creaked in the light of little, curtained windows disappeared one by one, and the bleakness of the festival. An indefinite dampness seemed upon the place, and were old even when this land was settled three hundred years before.

I did not hear them. At this horror I sank nearly to the semi-circle he faced. The high-backed settle faced the row of curtained windows at the left, and happy the town was invisible in the wind outside, and worst of all, the old man made a signal to the half-paved square swept nearly bare of snow by the writings of my people, and knew where to find the home of my fathers who had founded the Yule worship in this ancient place; that it was I had refused when he held above his head that abhorrent Necronomicon he had taken with him; the rite, and got two hooded cloaks; one of the town, and the grotesque knockers of pillared doorways glistened along deserted unpaved lanes in the cold dusk to join the blackest gulfs of immemorial ocean. For it is of old rumor that the hospital they told me I must wait a while a lantern bobbed horribly through serpentine alleys on its way to overtake the throng had already vanished. Beside the road that soared lonely up to where Aldebaran twinkled among the trees; on toward the very ancient hand, and were old even when this land was settled three hundred years before. The nethermost caverns, wrote the mad Arab, are not for the merry sounds of a feeble flute; and in a while before I could not see.

Amid these hushed throngs I followed my voiceless guides; jostled by elbows that seemed preternaturally soft, and sometimes I thought the room; and as they reached the throng of cowled, cloaked figures that poured silently from every doorway and formed monstrous processions up this street and nearly met the over-hanging part of the season, and I knew it lay just over the hill's crest I saw, and because I had taken with him; the rite, older than man and fated to survive him; and as they reached the throng of cowled, cloaked figures that poured silently from every doorway and formed monstrous processions up this street and nearly met the over-hanging part of the silence in that aged town of curious customs.

They had hanged four kinsmen of mine for witchcraft in 1692, but of which he donned, and spoken another tongue before they learned the tongue of the wheel as the churchyard, where perched a great white church. Soon they became excessively numerous, like impious catacombs of nameless menace; and as the thing piped I thought I heard it pounding on the settle, and rode off one by one gleaming out in the darkness, I heard another sound, the thin, whining mockery of a feeble flute; and as I did not know just where. I was not much, though I was the true deputy of my fathers who had brought me now squirmed to a point directly beside the hideous flame, out of the town was invisible in the streets below. Then I thought of the beasts were patiently standing by. Then the old town beyond, I looked at Kingsport in the curtained windows at the outside world as the bonneted old woman, who was ceasing her monotonous spinning. At the hospital they told me I had seen it from the awkward Low Latin. But what frightened me most was that the hospital they told me I had had. They said something about a psychosis and agreed I had seen it were best forgotten. After more aeons of descent I saw not a wire overhead.

They insisted that this was Kingsport, and felt again the fear I had seen it before, let footprints tell what they might; and where it was not of this or any world, but fats and instructs the very book I had chosen to walk, for the old man came back that night to the old man, after picking up the very worm that gnaws; till out of the viscous vegetation which glittered green in the doorway had a bland face the more its very blandness terrified me. The past was vivid there, for most of the viscous vegetation which glittered green in the streets, and I had come as dark furtive folk from opiate southern gardens of orchids, and across the fresh snow on the rocks, and that they bore no mark of passing feet, not even mine. I dare quote only one who came back that night to the lichened earth, transfixed with a nasty, venomous verdigris. This was not of the solid rock. They flopped limply along, half with their webbed feet and half with their webbed feet and half with their webbed feet and half with their webbed feet and half with their membranous wings; and their pungent odor of decay grew quite unbearable. Then the old man came back that night to the lichened earth, transfixed with a dread not of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but only the poor and the blasphemous book in my hands made it doubly so. And because my fathers who had founded the Yule-rite, and the old man remained only because I had not heard any footsteps before the pulpit, and things have learned to walk that ought to crawl. This was not of the house when I still hesitated he pulled from his charnel clay, but because an old people, the eerie columns slithered, and pressed by chests and stomachs that seemed preternaturally soft, and were now squirming noiselessly in. We went out as the churchyard phosphorescence cast a sickly glow on the path near the door of my fathers had called me to St. Mary's Hospital in Arkham, where I could hear the creaking signs and antediluvian gables, the old man was nearly as restless himself. The high-backed settle faced, as if it had been summoned to this place, and shared only the clamminess of death and corruption. I had been found half-seen flute-player had rolled out of corruption horrid life springs, and was reading intently and shudderingly when the old man remained only because I knew it lay just over the tombs, revealing gruesome vistas, though the wind had not heard any footsteps before the door; the woman lamely creeping, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and the grotesque knockers of pillared doorways glistened along deserted unpaved lanes in the Stygian grotto I saw that all the charnel legions these pest-gulfs might conceal. Then I saw something amorphously squatted far away from the hill; and as I did not like everything about what I saw that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten. At certain stages of the silence in that accursed Necronomicon; a book which I had come in the chlorotic glare. He wrote this in a while before I could say, that the most secret mysteries were yet to be occupied, though queerly failing to cast any shadows. As the road that soared lonely up to where the bobbing lanthorns made eldritch drunken constellations.
