Efficiut Daemones, ut quae non sunt, sic tamen quasi sint, conspicienda hominibus exhibeant.
And for any stray Lovecraftians, a true morsel from that most excellent book, the Kitab Al-Azif, aka the Necronomicon.Â
Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. !

Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.
