The Tomb part 4

“Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head…the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnal clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws ; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.”

H.P. Lovecraft, The Tomb and Other Tales

This sounds eerily like my high school valedictory address.
