On

He
sat
upright
in
bed
,
astonished
to
find
himself
at
home
and
completely
ignorant
of
what
had
happened
in
dream
or
reality
since
the
night
of
March
22nd

every
trace
of
Wilcox
’
s
malady
suddenly
ceased
.
He
sat
upright
in
bed
,
astonished
to
find
himself
at
home
and
completely
ignorant
of
what
had
happened
in

or
reality
since
the
night
of
March
22nd
.
Pronounced
well
by
his
physician
,
he
returned
to
his
quarters
in
three
days
;
but
to
Professor
Angell
he
was
of
no
further
assistance
.
All
traces
of
strange
dreaming
had
vanished
with
his
recovery
,
and
my
uncle
kept
no
record
of
his
night
-
thoughts
after
a
week
of
pointless
and
irrelevant
accounts
of
thoroughly
usual
visions
.
Here
the
first
part
of
the
manuscript
ended
,
but
references
to
certain
of
the
scattered
notes
gave
me
much
material
for
thought
—
so
much
,
in
fact
,
that
only
the
ingrained
scepticism
then
forming
my
philosophy
can
account
for
my
continued
distrust
of
the
artist
.
The
notes
in
question
were
those
descriptive
of
the
dreams
of
various
persons
covering
the
same
period
as
that
in
which
young
Wilcox
had
had
his
strange
visitations
.
My
uncle
,
it
seems
,
had
quickly
instituted
a
prodigiously
far
-
flung
body
of
inquiries
amongst
nearly
all
the
friends
whom
he
could
question
without
impertinence
,
asking
for
nightly
reports
of
their
dreams
,
and
the
dates
of
any
notable
visions
for
some
time
past
.
The
reception
of
his
request
seems
to
have
been
varied
;
but
he
must
,
at
the
very
least
,
have
received
more
responses
than
any
ordinary
man
could
have
handled
without
a
secretary
.
This
original
correspondence
was
not
preserved
,
but
his
notes
formed
a
thorough
and
really
significant
digest
.
Average
people
in
society
and
business
—
New
England
’
s
traditional
"
salt
of
the
earth
"
—
gave
an
almost
completely
negative
result
,
though
scattered
cases
of
uneasy
but
formless
nocturnal
impressions
appear
here
and
there
,
always
between
March
23rd
and
April
2nd
—
the
period
of
young
Wilcox
’
s
delirium
.
Scientific
men
were
little
more
affected
,
though
four
cases
of
vague
description
suggest
fugitive
glimpses
of
strange
landscapes
,
and
in
one
case
there
is
mentioned
a
dread
of
something
abnormal
.
It
was
from
the
artists
and
poets
that
the
pertinent
answers
came
,
and
I
know
that
panic
would
have
broken
loose
had
they
been
able
to
compare
notes
.
As
it
was
,
lacking
their
original
letters
,
I
half
suspected
the
compiler
of
having
asked
leading
questions
,
or
of
having
edited
the
correspondence
in
corroboration
of
what
he
had
latently
resolved
to
see
.
That
is
why
I
continued
to
feel
that
Wilcox
,
somehow
cognisant
of
the
old
data
which
my
uncle
had
possessed
,
had
been
imposing
on
the
veteran
scientist
.
These
responses
from
aesthetes
told
a
disturbing
tale
.
From
February
28th
to
April
2nd
a
large
proportion
of
them
had
dreamed
very
bizarre
things
,
the
intensity
of
the
dreams
being
immeasurably
the
stronger
during
the
period
of
the
sculptor
’
s
delirium
.
Over
a
fourth
of
those
who
reported
anything
,
reported
scenes
and
half
-
sounds
not
unlike
those
which
Wilcox
had
described
;
and
some
of
the
dreamers
confessed
acute
fear
of
the
gigantic
nameless
thing
visible
toward
the
last
.
One
case
,
which
the
note
describes
with
emphasis
,
was
very
sad
.
The
subject
,
a
widely
known
architect
with
leanings
toward
theosophy
and
occultism
,
went
violently
insane
on
the
date
of
young
Wilcox
’
s
seizure
,
and
expired
several
months
later
after
incessant
screamings
to
be
saved
from
some
escaped
denizen
of
hell
.
Had
my
uncle
referred
to
these
cases
by
name
instead
of
merely
by
number
,
I
should
have
attempted
some
corroboration
and
personal
investigation
;
but
as
it
was
,
I
succeeded
in
tracing
down
only
a
few
.
All
of
these
,
however
,
bore
out
the
notes
in
full
.
I
have
often
wondered
if
all
the
objects
of
the
professor
’
s
questioning
felt
as
puzzled
as
did
this
fraction
.
It
is
well
that
no
explanation
shall
ever
reach
them
.
The
press
cuttings
,
as
I
have
intimated
,
touched
on
cases
of
panic
,
mania
,
and
eccentricity
during
the
given
period
.
Professor
Angell
must
have
employed
a
cutting
bureau
,
for
the
number
of
extracts
was
tremendous
and
the
sources
scattered
throughout
the
globe
.
Here
was
a
nocturnal
suicide
in
London
,
where
a
lone
sleeper
had
leaped
from
a
window
after
a
shocking
cry
.
Here
likewise
a
rambling
letter
to
the
editor
of
a
paper
in
South
America
,
where
a
fanatic
deduces
a
dire
future
from
visions
he
has
seen
.
A
despatch
from
California
describes
a
theosophist
colony
as
donning
white
robes
en
masse
for
some
"
glorious
fulfillment
"
which
never
arrives
,
whilst
items
from
India
speak
guardedly
of
serious
native
unrest
toward
the
end
of
March
.
Voodoo
orgies
multiply
in
Hayti
,
and
African
outposts
report
ominous
mutterings
.
American
officers
in
the
Philippines
find
certain
tribes
bothersome
at
this
time
,
and
New
York
policemen
are
mobbed
by
hysterical
Levantines
on
the
night
of
March
22
-
23
.
The
west
of
Ireland
,
too
,
is
full
of
wild
rumour
and
legendry
,
and
a
fantastic
painter
named
Ardois
-
Bonnot
hangs
a
blasphemous
"
Dream
Landscape
"
in
the
Paris
spring
salon
of
1926
.
And
so
numerous
are
the
recorded
troubles
in
insane
asylums
,
that
only
a
miracle
can
have
stopped
the
medical
fraternity
from
noting
strange
parallelisms
and
drawing
mystified
conclusions
.
A
weird
bunch
of
cuttings
,
all
told
;
and
I
can
at
this
date
scarcely
envisage
the
callous
rationalism
with
which
I
set
them
aside
.
But
I
was
then
convinced
that
young
Wilcox
had
known
of
the
older
matters
mentioned
by
the
professor
.
The
older
matters
which
had
made
the
sculptor
’
s
dream
and
bas
-
relief
so
significant
to
my
uncle
formed
the
subject
of
the
second
half
of
his
long
manuscript
.
Once
before
,
it
appears
,
Professor
Angell
had
seen
the
hellish
outlines
of
the
nameless
monstrosity
,
puzzled
over
the
unknown
hieroglyphics
,
and
heard
the
ominous
syllables
which
can
be
rendered
only
as
"
Cthulhu
"
;
and
all
this
in
so
stirring
and
horrible
a
connexion
that
it
is
small
wonder
he
pursued
young
Wilcox
with
queries
and
demands
for
data
.
This
earlier
experience
had
come
in
1908
,
seventeen
years
before
,
when
the
American
Archaeological
Society
held
its
annual
meeting
in
St
.
Louis
.
Professor
Angell
,
as
befitted
one
of
his
authority
and
attainments
,
had
had
a
prominent
part
in
all
the
deliberations
;
and
was
one
of
the
first
to
be
approached
by
the
several
outsiders
who
took
advantage
of
the
convocation
to
offer
questions
for
correct
answering
and
problems
for
expert
solution
.
