7. A New Dark Age (0:34)
(Taken from H. P. Lovecraft's "The Call Of Cthulhu"
The most merciful thing in the world, I think,
is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance
in the midst of black seas of infinity,
and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
The sciences,
each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little;
but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
will open up such terrifying vistas of reality,
and of our frightful position therein,
that we shall either go mad from the revelation
or flee from the deadly light
into the peace and safety
of a new dark age.
