“When one knows, as I do, that time and space are identical and that they are both deceptive because they are merely imperfect manifestations of a higher reality, one no longer seeks in the visible world for an explanation of the mystery and terror of being.”
Henry Bartholomew, Dangerous Dimensions: Mind-bending Tales of the Mathematical Weird

S.T. Joshi
“each of Dunsany’s works must be studied individually for the philosophy imbedded in it.”
S.T. Joshi, The Weird Tale: Arthur Machen/Lord Dunsany/Algernon Blackwood/M. R. James/Ambrose Bierce/H. P. Lovecraft

“it is hard for the human mind to grasp anything but a human explanation of phenomena.”

S.T. Joshi
“certain authors develop certain types of world views that compel them to write fiction that causes readers to question, revise, or refashion their views of the universe; the result is what we (in retrospect) call weird fiction.”
S.T. Joshi, The Weird Tale: Arthur Machen/Lord Dunsany/Algernon Blackwood/M. R. James/Ambrose Bierce/H. P. Lovecraft

S.T. Joshi
“all this points to a truth so obvious that many seem not to have realised it—that horror or fantasy is almost entirely a matter of approach rather than of subject matter.”
S.T. Joshi, The Weird Tale: Arthur Machen/Lord Dunsany/Algernon Blackwood/M. R. James/Ambrose Bierce/H. P. Lovecraft
