Terror,
the most abject terror, is in the atmosphere about us --
a consuming passion, like that of jealousy --
a haunting, exhausting specter,
which sits like a blight upon life.
Such a settled state of terror
is one of the most awful of human phenomena.
The air holds ghosts, all joy is dead;
the sun is black, the mouth parched,
the mind rent and in tatters.
-- H.F.B. Lynch

I had known something of peculiar, indeed,
but my experience was limited.
There could be all kinds of peculiar
I hadn't even yet imagined.
