Quote by H.P. Lovecraft

“And at twilight, dreading to repass that ominous spot, I walked circuitously back to the town by the curving road on the south. I vaguely wished some clouds would gather, for an odd timidity about the deep skyey voids above had crept into my soul.” quote by H.P. Lovecraft — Download Open image
