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.
