Howard Lovecraft

Omnia risus et omnia pulvis et omnia nihil

I saw the lake’s dull water glow

Till sunken things appear’d below.

There shone unnumber’d fathoms down,

The tow’rs of a forgotten town;

The tarnish’d domes and mossy walls;

Weed-tangled spires and empty halls

Clinging to life, fled without aim or knowledge,

To spheres of darkness, to abysmal voids

modern world, with all it’s care & pain,

Was greater than the lifetime of our world.

Draw me against the tide of time’s rough sea
And let my sprirt rest amid the past.

One night he strove to catch a tale untold

I saw the birth of suns and worlds, their death,

Haunts my soul for evermore
