The Great of wars
Fought in narrowed trenches
millions who have died
Hand to hand in the mud
The Great of Wars
Fought on endless oceans
thousands who have died
through imposing weapons
In the open broad Pacific
On a grand supercargo
Captured by the huns
After lacking discipline
He was free on the sea
Waking up to a dream
A transformation of scenery
A slimy hellish black mire
trapped in cloudless cruelty
The inky marsh beneath his feet
carcasses of decaying fish
a barren immensity
not a faintest noise of ocean
He crawled into the stranded boat
thinking or brooding for several hours
there before his eyes must lay
a ground hidden for several million years
maybe
an unprecedented volcanic eruption
no sea to go back
no sea-fowl to prey upon the dead fish

On the third morning the soil was dry enough to walk upon with ease.
set out for an unknown goal
guided by a faraway hummock
the unbroken monotony of the rolling plain
a source of horror
the summit of the mount
peering over the rim into a fathomless
chaos of eternal night
curious reminiscences of Satan’s hideous climb
through the unfashioned realms of darkness
The moon, now near the zenith, shone weirdly and vividly
above the towering steeps that hemmed in the chasm, and revealed the fact that a farflung body of water
flowed at the bottom, winding out of sight in both directions.
Across the chasm, the wavelets washed the base of a cyclopean monolith
creatures shewn disporting like fishes in the waters of some marine grotto
Grotesque beyond the imagination of a Poe or a Bulwer, they were damnably human
in general outline despite webbed hands and feet, shockingly wide and flabby lips, glassy, bulging eyes, and other features less pleasant to recall
With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters.
Vast, Polyphemuslike, and loathsome,
it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith,
about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms,
the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds.
A frantic ascent of the slope and cliff
A delirious journey back to the stranded
boat
indistinct recollections of a great storm

A hideous vivid vision
the deep sea
shuddering at the nameless things
be crawling and flundering
on its slimy bed
their ancient stone idols
obelisks of water-soaked granite
one day they may rise above
to drag down the remnants
of war-exhausted mankind
a day the land shall sink
and the dark ocean floor shall ascend
universal pandemonium
The end is near
A noise at the door
Some immense slippery body
lumbering against
God!
That hand!
The window!
The window!
