"You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, & so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened."
Jorge Luis Borges

Soft hair, hair that is all the softness of the world:
without you lying in my lap, what silk would I enjoy?
sweet the ancient sadness, at least for the few hours it slips between my hands.

‘Grey and furtive in the final twilight,
he lopes by, leaving his spoor along the bank
of this nameless river that has quenched the thirst
of his throat, these waters that repeat no stars.’ A Wolf, Borges. 🐺

"Go not to the Nixie’s pool!
In those waters dim and cool
Gleams a pale and lovely face
Framed in hair like green fern-lace,
Arms of more than mortal grace
Smooth as lily, and as cool."
Leah Bodine Drake, Weird Tales May 1946
🎨 Arthur Rackham, The Rhinemaidens
Poe’s Dupin was a first: a weird, detective genius: 🔍
“Let him talk,” said Dupin, who had not thought it necessary to reply. "Let him discourse; it will ease his conscience, I am satisfied with having defeated him in his own castle.”
-Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin

I had a long, cathartic howl of laughter. I hope #BookWormSat #amreading #SatSplat #BookLover folk will, too.
#BookWormSat - “To visit Yuggoth would drive any weak man mad - yet I am going there. The black rivers of pitch that flow under those mysterious Cyclopean bridges - things built by some elder race extinct and forgotten...”
~ The Whisperer in Darkness - H.P. Lovecraft
In Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, the narrator's friend known as Danforth completes his descent into insanity in Antarctica by repeatedly chanting the station names of Boston's Red Line. #BookWormSat #BookChatWeekly
