"They's
prints in the rud, Mis' Corey - great raound prints as big
as barrel-heads, all sunk dawon deep like a elephant had ben
along, only they's a sight more nor four feet could make!""Bigger’n
a barn...all made o’ squirmin’ ropes...hull thing sort o’ shaped like a
hen’s egg bigger’n anything, with dozens o’ legs like hogsheads that
haff shut up when they step...nothin’ solid abaout it—all like jelly,
an’ made o’ sep’rit wrigglin’ ropes pushed clost together...great
bulgin’ eyes all over it...ten or twenty maouths or trunks a-stickin’
aout all along the sides, big as stovepipes, an’ all a-tossin’ an’
openin’ an’ shuttin’...all grey, with kinder blue or purple rings... an’ Gawd in heaven—that haff face on top!...”
" 'Oh, oh, my Gawd, that haff face - that haff face on top of it... that face with the red eyes an' crinkly albino hair, an' no chin, like the Whateleys... It was a octopus, centipede, spider kind o' thing, but they was a haff-shaped man's face on top of it, an' it looked like Wizard Whateley's, only it was yards an' yards acrost....' "
H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror
