Only a madman or a scientist believes he understands the cosmos,
Thinks he can fathom all the strange things in existance.
But I know no sane man could glimpse the foul pit from whence _It_ came.
And to think - even I once considered hoary Arkham just brick and mortar!
But the artist who gazes into the Stygian depths of the nameless Pit
May fix his eyes upon the formless Shapes that writhe within the elder dark,
And hardly realise that the Things he bodies forth in images hide the horror more
Than the gibbous moon above a sunset terrace.
His baleful gaze, then cast upon the darkling page, is greeted
