"There were three rauens sat on a tree,
They were as blacke as they might be.
With a downe, derrie, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?"
(Folk Ballad)

“Villiers, that woman, if I can call her a woman, corrupted my soul....I listened to her as she spoke in her beautiful voice, spoke of things which even now I would dare not whisper in the blackest night, though I stood in the midst of a wilderness” (Machen)

"Here I am lying down to sleep;
No night-mare shall plague me
until they have swum through all the waters
that flow upon the earth,
and counted all stars
that appear in the firmament"

"The ship and all in it are imbued with the spirit of Eld... I feel as I have never felt before, although I have been all my life a dealer in antiquities, and have imbibed the shadows... until my very soul has become a ruin" (Poe)
