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: never a Shantak or less mentionable entity rose from the haunted
wastes to pursue them. The farther they went, the faster they
flew, till soon their dizzying speed seemed to pass that of a
rifle ball and approach that of a planet in its orbit. Carter
wondered how with such speed the earth could still stretch beneath
them, but knew that in the land of dream dimensions have strange
properties. That they were in a realm of eternal night he felt
certain, and he fancied that the constellations overhead had subtly
emphasized their northward focus; gathering themselves up as it
were to cast the flying army into the void of the boreal pole,
as the folds of a bag are gathered up to cast out the last bits
