Quote
Alas for him who chafes at soothing ease,And cries for fever'd joys and pains to please:They please a moment, but the pleasure flies,And the rack'd soul, a prey to passion, dies.

Quote
So stay, belov'd Content! nor let my soulIn fretful passion seek a farther goal.Apollo, chasing Daphne, gain'd his prize,But lo! she turn'd to wood before his eyes!Our earthly prizes, though as holy sought,Prove just as fleeting, and decay to naught.Enduring bliss a man may only findIn virtuous living, and contented mind.

Quote
I saw the body spread on that dank stone,And knew those things which feasted were not men;I knew this strange, grey world was not my own,But Yuggoth, past the starry voids—and thenThe body shrieked at me with a dead cry,And all too late I knew that it was I!
