Eldritch Tales Quotes

“That night something of youth and beauty died in the elder world.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, Eldritch Tales: A Miscellany of the Macabre

“I remember the twilight, the moon, and soft songs, and the window where I was rocked to sleep. And through the window was the street where the golden lights came, and where the shadows danced on houses of marble. I remember the square of moonlight on the floor, that was not like any other light, and the visions that danced in the moonbeams when my mother sang to me. And too, I remember the sun of morning bright above the many-coloured hills in summer, and the sweetness of flowers borne on the south wind that made the trees sing.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, Eldritch Tales: A Miscellany of the Macabre

“And in the autumn of the year, when the winds from the north curse and whine, and the red-leaved trees of the swamp mutter things to one another in the small hours of the morning under the horned waning moon, I sit by the casement and watch that star.”
