• A Memory

  There were great steppes, and rocky table-lands
  Stretching half-limitless in starlit night,
  With alien campfires shedding feeble light
  On beasts with tinkling bells, in shaggy bands.
  Far to the south the plain sloped low and wide
  To a dark zigzag line of wall that lay
  Like a huge python of some primal day
  Which endless time had chilled and petrified.
  
  I shivered oddly in the cold, thin air,
  And wondered where I was and how I came,
  When a cloaked form against a campfire’s glare
  Rose and approached, and called me by my name.
  Staring at that dead face beneath the hood,
  I ceased to hope—because I understood.

• The Canal

  Somewhere in dream there is an evil place
  Where tall, deserted buildings crowd along
  A deep, black, narrow channel, reeking strong
  Of frightful things whence oily currents race.
  Lanes with old walls half meeting overhead
  Wind off to streets one may or may not know,
  And feeble moonlight sheds a spectral glow
  Over long rows of windows, dark and dead.
  
  There are no footfalls, and the one soft sound
  Is of the oily water as it glides
  Under stone bridges, and along the sides
  Of its deep flume, to some vague ocean bound.
  None lives to tell when that stream washed away
  Its dream-lost region from the world of clay.

• contents: This book contains illustrated interpretations of one story, "Arthur Jermyn", and two sonnets, "The Well" and "The Window", by H.P. Lovecraft.
• The Window

  The house was old, with tangled wings outthrown,
  Of which no one could ever half keep track,
  And in a small room somewhat near the back
  Was an odd window sealed with ancient stone.
  There, in a dream-plagued childhood, quite alone
  I used to go, where night reigned vague and black;
  Parting the cobwebs with a curious lack
  Of fear, and with a wonder each time grown.
  
  One later day I brought the masons there
  To find what view my dim forbears had shunned,
  But as they pierced the stone, a rush of air
  Burst from the alien voids that yawned beyond.
  They fled—but I peered through and found unrolled
  All the wild worlds of which my dreams had told.
