The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft: but only a weird grey twilight shining through a dome of eternal
cloud by day, and a cold starless phosphorescence from the under
side of that cloud by night. On the twentieth day a great jagged
rock in the sea was sighted from afar, the first land glimpsed
since Man's snowy peak had dwindled behind the ship. Carter asked
the captain the name of that rock, but was told that it had no
name and had never been sought by any vessel because of the sounds
that came from it at night. And when, after dark, a dull and ceaseless
howling arose from that jagged granite place, the traveller was
glad that no stop had been made, and that the rock had no name.
The seamen prayed and chanted till the noise was out of earshot,
The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath |
