The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

H. P. Lovecraft – The Call of Cthulhu

“…but I see the tower in the dark. There is a monstrous odour … senses transfigured … boarding at that tower window cracking and giving away … Iä … ngai … ygg.

… I see it — coming here — hell-wind — titan blur — black wings — Yog-Sothoth save me — the three lobed burning eye… .”

The Haunter of the Dark by H. P. Lovecraft
