The Call of Cthulhu

by H.P. Lovecraft

They knew all that was occurring in the universe, for Their mode of speech was transmitted thought. Even now They talked in Their tombs. When, after infinities of chaos, the first men came, the Great Old Ones spoke to the sensitive among them by moulding their dreams; for only thus could Their language reach the fleshly minds of mammals.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.
