H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Strange High House in the Mist“ (9 November 1926)
On October 24th, 1930, one Klarkash-Ton (Clark Ashton Smith) wrote to E’ch-Pi-El (HPL) concerning Tsathoggua, Azathoth, Einstein, and Baudelaire. CAS also discusses their stories, and other things.
The suggestion of any simulachral relationship or connection with Azathoth (even of the remotest vestigial sort) is simply overpowering in its terror; for is not Azathoth the animating Daemon of that all-encompassing Space which Einstein in his latest theory, and a certain unknown poet in a long-forgotten “Ode to the Abyss”, [1] have represented as devouring the material universe?
Also on this day, and the 26th, HP Lovecraft wrote a scientific article.
