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: horror of great winds and nameless subterrene ruins was dwelt
upon.
I knew from a carven wall symbol the right floor to enter,
and came at last after passing that other book I had examined
- to the great circular space with the branching archways. On
my right, and at once recognisable, was the arch through which
I had arrived. This I now entered, conscious that the rest of
my course would be harder because of the tumbled state of the
masonry outside the archive building. My new metal-eased burden
weighed upon me, and I found it harder and harder to be quiet
as I stumbled among debris and fragments of every sort.
