sketches, prose , or anything else having a phantastic or highly imaginative content will be appreciated. A "Dream" by William Lumley Lo! I stood within a hallway Measureless to mortal man Whose great walls were dark, and shiny While a golden river ran Oer the floor, which leaped and rippled Like the rays of noon-day sun . In its midst there stood a tripod And an image sat thereon, This was veiled in mist and dimness Like the falling waters' spray And above the silent river Rose and melted fast away. Though it was unknown unto me Something told me oer and oer Countless years it had awaited For my coming to that shore. Oer the tide strange shapes of evil Filt, and whispered each to each Words that fell like distant thunder On my earsin unknown speech Though twas speech it bore no semblac To the tongue of any race But some lost, and forgotten Echo from oblivious space. Oer the walls the golden waters Leaped as though to beat them through While the image seemed to beckon And the veil was rent in two I therein saw this inscription Graven there in snowy white In unknown gigantic letters On a tablet black as night. "Know ye everything that liveth Hath known death to purify Life within yet thing or creature That is dead can never die In the circle of the spirit All things shall endure for aye Though they sleep and are forgotten They shall never pass away."
