Quotes

edit
  • I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with its beautiful stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before the King In Yellow.
  • To come is easy and takes hours; to go is different—and may take centuries.
  • Strange is the night where black stars rise,
    And strange moons circle through the skies,
    But stranger still is
      Lost Carcosa. ...
    Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
    Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
    Shall dry and die in
      Lost Carcosa.
