CONTINUITY by H. P. Lovecraft -oOo- There is in certain ancient things a trace Of some dim essence---more than form or weight; A tenuous aether, indeterminate, Yet linked with all the laws of time and space. A faint, veiled sign of continuities That outward eyes can never quite descry; Of locked dimensions harbouring years gone by, And out of reach except for hidden keys. It moves me most when slanting sunbeams glow On old farm buildings set against a hill, And paint with life the shape which linger still From centuries less a dream than this we know. In that strange light I feel I am not far From the fixt mass whose sides the ages are ----ooOoo---- ([[underline]]Continuity[[end underline]] originally appeared in [[underline]]Causerie[[end underline]] for February 1936, and is reprinted here through the courtesy of E. A. Edkins.) [[underline]]THE PASSING OF APHRODITE[[end underline]]. ([[underline]]cont.[[end underline]]) of the barge; and even as it had come, without wafture of wind or movement of oar, the barge put out on a sea covered with the fallen, fading petale of sunset. Quickly it vanished from view, while the desert lost those ancient asphodels and the deep verdure it had worn again for a little. Darkness, having conquered Illarion, came slow and furtive on the path of Aphrodite; shadows mustered innumerably to the grey hills; and the heart of the poet Phaniol was an urn of black jade overfraught by love with sodden ashes.
