awful, most secret forces which lie at the heart of all things; forces before which the souls of men must wither and die and blacken, as their bodies blacken under the electric current. Such forces cannot be named, cannot be spoken, cannot be imagined except under a veil and a symbol, a symbol to the most of us appearing a quaint, poetic fancy, to some a foolish tale. But you and I, at all events, have known something of the terror that may dwell in the secret place of life, manifested under human flesh; that which is without form taking to itself a form. Oh, Austin, how can it be? How is it that the very sunlight does not turn to blackness before this thing, the hard earth melt and boil beneath such a burden?” Villiers was pacing up and down the room, and the beads of sweat stood out on his forehead. Austin sat silent for a while, but Villiers saw him make a sign upon his breast. “I say again, Villiers, you will surely never enter such a house as that? You would never pass out alive.” ED THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOST AWFUL MOST SECRET FORCES WHICH LIE AT THE HEART OF ALL THINGS FORCES BEFORE WHICH THE SOULS OF MEN MUST WITHER AND DIE AND BLACKEN AS THEIR BODIES BLACKEN UNDER THE ELECTRIC CURRENT SUCH FORCES CANNOT BE NAMED CANNOT BE SPOKEN CANNOT BE IMAGINED EXCEPT UNDER A VEIL AND A SYMBOL A SYMBOL TO THE MOST OF US APPEARING A QUAINT POETIC FANCY TO SOME A FOOLISH TALE BUT YOU AND I AT ALL EVENTS HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING OF THE TERROR THAT MAY DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE OF LIFE MANIFESTED UNDER HUMAN FLESH THAT WHICH IS WITHOUT FORM TAKING TO ITSELF A FORM OH AUSTIN HOW CAN IT BE HOW IS IT THAT THE VERY SUNLIGHT DOES NOT TURN TO BLACKNESS BEFORE THIS THING THE HARD EARTH MELT AND BOIL BENEATH SUCH A BURDEN VILLIERS WAS PACING UP AND DOWN THE ROOM AND THE BEADS OF SWEAT STOOD OUT ON HIS FOREHEAD AUSTIN SAT SILENT FOR A WHILE BUT VILLIERS SAW HIM MAKE A SIGN UPON HIS BREAST I SAY AGAIN VILLIERS YOU WILL SURELY NEVER ENTER SUCH A HOUSE AS THAT YOU WOULD NEVER PASS OUT ALIVE
