R'lyeh

"The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh that was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults and sending out at last, after cycles incalculable, the thoughts that spread fear to the dreams of the sensitive and called imperiously to the faithful to come on a pilgrimage of liberation and restoration."

— H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

"He talked of his dreams in a strangely poetic fashion; making me see with terrible vividness the damp Cyclopean city of slimy green stone—whose geometry, he oddly said , was all wrong—
...abnormal, non-euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours."
