+++ You will leave this spot, which spot denies the logic of your coming and going, and you will take, in the Name of the Nameless One, all your minions and their devices with you. And even the uttering of your name will be lost to this world until Time has eaten its Own Head. - Banishing Spell Against The Old Ones Under the graveyard are creatures, obscene, Desecrating the dead's place of resting. Conjured visions from a pulp magazine, Come to life and now unholy questing. The writer of tales hit close to the mark When he wrote of the "things living under." In foul smelling tunnels, fetid and dark, Ever feasting on that which they plunder. Hid by the darkness and our belief Now their number is fast multiplying. How soon 'til our blindness causes us grief. Was that Providence gent prophesying? Perhaps knowing more than he cared to tell, Glimpses of truth in a story to sell. - Glimpses of Truth © 1997 Ron Shiflet When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough. - Maurice Maeterlinck, Wisdom and Destiny, 1898 We simply rob ourselves when we make presents to the dead. - Publilius Syrus, Moral Sayings, First Century B.C. Heap not on this mound, roses that she loved so well. Why bewilder her with roses, that she cannot see or smell? - Edna St. Vincent Millay, Epitaph, 1921 My true form is concealed within me, for I am the unfathomable… - Unknown In the land of the night The ship of the sun Is drawn by The grateful dead. - Tibetan Book of the Dead After man there would be the mighty beetle civilization, the bodies of whose members the cream of the Great Race would seize when the monstrous doom overtook the elder world. Later, as the earth's span closed, the transferred minds would again migrate through time and space -- to another stopping place in the bodies of the bulbous vegetable entities of Mercury. But there would be races after them, clinging pathetically to the cold planet and burrowing to its horror-filled core, before the utter end. -H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Out of Time They walk unseen and foul in lonely places where the Words have been spoken and the Rites howled through at their Seasons. The wind gibbers with Their voices, and the earth mutters with Their consciousness. They bend the forest and crush the city, yet may not forest or city behold the hand that smites. Kadath in the cold waste hath known Them, and what man knows Kadath? - H.P. Lovecraft, Necronomicon in "The Dunwich Horror" As a foulness shall ye know Them. Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. - H.P. Lovecraft, Necronomicon in "The Dunwich Horror" Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, and after winter is summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They reign again. - H.P. Lovecraft, Necronomicon in "The Dunwich Horror" No Will-o'-the-Wisp mislight thee; Nor snake, or slow-worm bite thee: But on, on thy way Nor making a stay, Since ghost there's none to affright thee. - Robert Herrick (1591-1674) O'er all there hung a shadow and a fear; A sense of mystery the spirit daunted, And said as plain as whisper in the ear, The place is Haunted. - Thomas Hood (1799-1845) All houses wherein men have lived and died are haunted houses. Through the open doors the harmless phantoms on their errands glide, with feet that make no sound upon the floors. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) Men say that in this midnight hour, The disembodied have power To wander as it liketh them, By wizard oak and fairy stream. - William Motherwell (1797-1835) Return to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 1 Return to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 2 Return to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 3 Go to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 5 Go to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 6 Go to Haunted Thoughts/Last Words Page 7  Back I say, go back to FRIGHTBYTES.COM you DEVIL!
