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: 1900, and 1903, respectively. In 1898 I became an associate professor,
and in 1902 a full professor. At no time had I the least interest
in either occultism or abnormal psychology.
It was on Thursday,
14 May 1908, that the queer amnesia came. The thing was quite
sudden, though later I realized that certain brief, glimmering
visions of several, hours previous - chaotic visions which disturbed
me greatly because they were so unprecedented - must have formed
premonitory symptoms. My head was aching, and I had a singular
feeling - altogether new to me - that some one else was trying
to get possession of my thoughts.
