“I have called upon all the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies of spring and flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to me.” – H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
“Chaos is impatient. It’s random. And above all it’s selfish. It tears down everything just for the sake of change, feeding on itself in constant hunger. But chaos can also be appealing. It tempts you to believe that nothing matters except what you want.” – Rick Riordan, The Throne of Fire
“He seemed as if against me he were coming
With head uplifted, and with ravenous hunger” – Inferno Canto I

Emily Dickinson:
The Chariot
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
The moon is distant from the sea,
And yet with amber hands
She leads him, docile as a boy,
Along appointed sands
Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,–
Prodigal of blue,
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover’s words
The Juggler of Day
Blazing in gold and quenching in purple,
Leaping like leopards to the sky,
Then at the feet of the old horizon
Laying her spotted face, to die
A death-blow is a life-blow to some
Who, till they died, did not alive become;
Who, had they lived, had died, but when
They died, vitality begun.
Vanished
She died,–this was the way she died;
And when her breath was done,
Took up her simple wardrobe
And started for the sun.
Her little figure at the gate
The angels must have spied,
Since I could never find her
Upon the mortal side.

Stories from Necronomicon : Herbert West – Reanimator, The Rats in the Walls
“The next day, a burst of winter sun has made everybody bold.” – Tin Man
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again
I shall not live in vain. – Emily Dickinson
“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.” – Kate Chopin, The Awakening
