"...A liquid prose-poet who writes classic hexameters by accident, with his stage set for relentless deities and their still more relentless conqueror Time; for cosmic chess-games of Fate and Chance; for the funerals of dead gods; for the birth and death of universes; and for the simple annals of that speck of space called the world, which with its poor denizens is but one of countless playthings of the little gods, who are in turn only the dreams of MANA YOOD SUSHAI?"
(From H.P. Lovecraft's essay used as a forward to the Owlswick edition of "Tales of Three Hemispheres", Philadelphia, 1976 |
