“I read, and, in reading, lifted the Curtains of the Impossible that blind the mind, and looked out into the unknown.”

“There had stood a great house in the centre of the gardens, where now was left only that fragment of ruin. This house had been empty for a great while; years before his—the ancient man's—birth. It was a place shunned by the people of the village, as it had been shunned by their fathers before them. There were many things said about it, and all were of evil. No one ever went near it, either by day or night. In the village it was a synonym of all that is unholy and dreadful.”

“And, suddenly, it came home to me that I was a little man in a little ship, in the midst of a very great sea.”
