H.P. Lovecraft Quotes
Wearied With The Commonplaces Of A Prosaic World; Where Even The Joys Of Romance And Adventure Soon Grow Stale, St John And I Had Followed Enthusiastically Every Aesthetic And Intellectual Movement Which Promised Respite From Our Devastating Ennui. The Enigmas Of The Symbolists And The Ecstasies Of The Pre-Raphaelites All Were Ours In Their Time, But Each New Mood Was Drained Too Soon, Of Its Diverting Novelty And Appeal. Only The Somber Philosophy Of The Decadents Could Help Us, And This We Found Potent Only By Increasing Gradually The Depth And Diablism Of Our Penetrations. Baudelaire And Huysmans Were Soon Exhausted Of Thrills, Till Finally There Remained For Us Only The More Direct Stimuli Of Unnatural Personal Experiences And Adventures. It Was This Frightful Emotional Need Which Led Us Eventually To That Detestable Course Which Even In My Present Fear I Mention With Shame And Timidity
that Hideous Extremity Of Human Outrage, The Abhorred Practice Of Grave-robbing.
