The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: his experience with the swamp worshippers; telling a story to
which I could see my uncle attached profound significance. It
savoured of the wildest dreams of myth-maker and theosophist,
and disclosed an astonishing degree of cosmic imagination among
such half-castes and pariahs as might be least expected to possess
it.
On November 1st, 1907, there had come to the New Orleans
police a frantic summons from the swamp and lagoon country to
the south. The squatters there, mostly primitive but good-natured
descendants of Lafitte's men, were in the grip of stark terror
from an unknown thing which had stolen upon them in the night.
