Ubbo-Sathla

“For Ubbo-Sathla is the source and the end. Before the coming of Zhothaqquah or Yok- Zothoth or Kthulhut from the stars; Ubbo-Sathla dwelt in the steaming fens of the new-made Earth: a mass without head or members, spawning the gray, formless efts of the prime and the grisly prototypes of terrene life...And all earthly life, it is told, shall go back at last through the great circle of time to Ubbo-Sathla.”

The Book of Eibon

“The Book of Eibon, that strangest and rarest of occult forgotten volumes ... is said to have come down through a series of manifold translations from a prehistoric original written in the lost language of Hyperborea. „

Tall and Crooked Trees

“You know how tall all the trees are in Mulligan Wood. You can’t see the tops of some of them from the wagon-road on a clear day. And you know how crooked and queer-looking some of them are.

It’s funny, but I’ve always thought of them as old men-tall old men, you understand, tall and crooked and very evil. I’ve always thought of them as wanting to work mischief. There’s something unwholesome about trees that grow very close together and grow crooked.

...Through swirling clouds of fog we saw the scaly, gnarled boles of the trees, and every bole resembled the twisted body of an evil old man."

H.P. Lovecraft, The Thing

“The awful squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bow-spit of the sturdy yacht…

There was bursting as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish, a stench as of a thousand open graves, and a sound that the chronicler would not put on paper.

For an instant the ship was befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then there was only a venomous seething...”

The Much Discussed Couplet

“No book had ever really hinted of it, though the deathless Chinamen said that there were double meanings in the Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred which the initiated might read as they chose, especially the much discussed couplet:

‘That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.’

The Unexplainable Couplet

“In a point of time, the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, was the first character of the Cthulhu Mythos to the make his appearance; this was in strongly Dunsanian tale, The Nameless City (1921), fashioned about the unexplainable couplet.”

‘That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.’
