Nyaghoggua
Robert A. W. Lowndes
(Famous Fantastic Mysteries, Apr 1941)
DEEP in the heart of time it lies supreme
And hideous in dread malignancy,
Replete with galaxies devoured, the
Krakan within, Nyaghoggua; some who dream
Not wisely, seek, not by the paths of sleep,
Yuggoth and Sarucene, or lost Sthanee
And far-flung, shadowed Lanth, the Upas tree
Gigantic and infernal, or the deep,
Horrific realms of R'lyeh will find, too late,
Ofttimes the veil of outer space is worn,
Great rifts occur; and, through the strangely torn,
Gouged walls, appear its servitors that wait
Under the rim of space: they come, and then
Are weird rites practiced on what once were men.
