"Never was a sane man more dangerously close to the arcana of basic entity--never was an organic brain nearer to utter annihilation in the chaos that transcends form and force and symmetry. I learned whence Cthulhu first came, and why half the great temporary stars of history had flared forth... The secret behind the Magellanic Clouds and globular nebulae, and the black truth vieled by the immemorial allegory of Tao. The nature of the Doels was plainly revealed, and i was told the essence (though not the source) of the Hounds of Tindalos. The legend of Yig, Father of Serpents, remained figurative no longer, and I started with loathing when told of the monstrous nuclear chaos beyond angled space which the Necronomicon had mercifully cloaked under the name of Azathoth."

-- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Whisperer in Darkness"
