The winter sunset, flaming beyond spires
And chimneys half-detached from this dull sphere,
Opens great gates to some forgotten year
Of elder splendours and divine desires.

A row of sphinxes where the way leads clear
Toward walls and turrets quivering to far lyres.

Where every unplaced memory has a source,
Where the great river Time begins its course
Down the vast void in starlit streams of hours.

That human tread has never soiled these streets. — H.P. Lovecraft
