The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Shadow out of Time by H. P. Lovecraft: I encountered those gigantic sealed trap-doors in the lowest level,
around which such an aura of fear and forbiddenness clung.
I
saw tremendously tessellated pools, and rooms of curious and inexplicable
utensils of myriad sorts. Then there were colossal caverns of
intricate machinery whose outlines and purpose were wholly strange
to me, and whose sound manifested itself only after many years
of dreaming. I may here remark that sight and sound are the only
senses I have ever exercised in the visionary world.
The real
horror began in May, 1915, when I first saw the living things.
