[Magdalen] R.I.P. Justice Scalia

Oh, no, I do not think you are out of it at all.  Lovecraft has always been

all, but is more like mood development by today's' standards.  In his day,
there were very few pictures ever.  He could very well say, along with most
ancient writers, "It's only words, but words are all I have to ...."

C-T-H-U-L-U:
