Interesting Quotes:

Abdul Alhazred [mad Arab]:

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, 
And with strange aeons even death may die."

a phrase from one of Lord Dunsany’s tales:

‘The unreverberate blackness of the abyss.’

Thomas Moore:

‘A reservoir of darkness, black 
As witches’ cauldrons are, when fill’d 
With moon-drugs in th’ eclipse distill’d.
Leaning to look if foot might pass 
Down thro’ that chasm, l saw, beneath, 
As far as vision could explore, 
The jetty sides as smooth as glass,
Looking as if just varnish’d o’er 
With that dark pitch the Seat of Death 
Throws out upon its slimy shore.’

Thomas Moore: (about Nitocris by Memphian boatmen)

'The subterranean nymh tath dewls
'Mind sunless gems and glories hid-
The lady of the Pyramid!'
