JUPITERIAN
"There was a mind from the planet we know as Venus, which would live incalculable epochs to come, and one from an outer moon of Jupiter six million years in the past. Of earthly minds there were some from the winged, star-headed, half-vegetable race of palaeogean Antarctica; one from the reptile people of fabled Valusia; three from the furry pre-human Hyperborean worshippers of Tsathoggua; one from the wholly abominable Tcho-Tchos; two from the arachnid denizens of earth’s last age; five from the hardy coleopterous species immediately following mankind, to which the Great Race was some day to transfer its keenest minds en masse in the face of horrible peril; and several from different branches of humanity."

ReplyDeleteLovecraft stressed that man is unimportant in the cosmic scheme of things, if it exists, as Lovecraft saw the cosmos as , like Azathoth, blind and purposeless. Man will vanish and be as if he never was, just one of a myriad pointless eddies in the confused story of the cosmos.
