 * "As witches' cauldron are, when filled. With moon-drugs in the eclipse distilled. Leaning to look if foot might pass. Down through that chasm, I saw, beneath, As fa as vision could explore. The jetty sides as smooth as glass. Looking as if just varnished over. With that dark pitch the Seat of Death. Throws out upon its slimy shore." H.P. Lovecraft's "The Nameless City" Silent Conversation.
