“It is with a rush of home-sickness that the thought of death presents itself.... Such sentiment is the eternal stock of all religions, modified indeed by changes of time and place, but indestructible, because its root is so deep in the earth of man's nature. The breath of religious initiators passes over them; a few "rise up with wings as eagles" [Isaiah 40:31], but the broad level of religious life is not permanently changed. Religious progress, like all purely spiritual progress, is confined to a few.” MenHomeEarthSpiritualLife IsDeathReligionReligiousLevelsProgressChangedEternalRootsBreathsWingsSicknessSentimentsBroadsEaglesConfinedHomesicknessIndestructibleReligious LifeSpiritual ProgressThoughts Of Death Author:Walter Pater

“[H.P.Lovecraft] is thrust into some kind of outer space realm, like here [pointing toward the painting in progress]. In other words, he's recognized he's gone through R'lyeh, the Sunken City of R'lyeh, and then Cthulhu, the extraterrestrial, calls his band of worshippers home to recognize him as the anti-christ. This is all in The Necronomicon, something Lovecraft actually did make up.” KindHomeChristSpaceCitiesGoneProgressPaintingBandRealmsPointingThrustOuter SpaceWorshippersExtraterrestrialLovecraftAnti Christ Author:Paul Laffoley
