Thomas Ligotti Quotes

It Was An Unusual Sunset. Having Sat Behind Opaque Drapery All Day, I Had Not Realized That A Storm Was Pushing In And That Much Of The Sky Was The Precise Shade Of Old Suits Of Armor One Finds In Museums. At The Same Time, Patches Of Brilliance Engaged In A Territorial Dispute With The Oncoming Onyx Of The Storm. Light And Darkness Mingled In Strange Ways Both Above And Below. Shadows And Sunshine Washed Together, Streaking The Landscape With An Unearthly Study Of Glare And Gloom. Bright Clouds And Black Folded Into Each Other In A No-man's Land Of The Sky. The Autumn Trees Took On The Appearance Of Sculptures Formed In A Dream, Their Leaden-colored Trunks And Branches And Iron-red Leaves All Locked In An Infinite And Unliving Moment, Unnaturally Timeless. The Gray Lake Slowly Tossed And Tumbled In A Dead Sleep, Nudging Unconsciously Against Its Breakwall Of Numb Stone. A Scene Of Contradiction And Ambivalence, A Tragicomedic Haze Over All. A Land Of Perfect Twilight.
