YellowJester's avatar looks bleaker and icier than my forlorn and dreamy clown-dunce.

Re: Cones in Art & Literature
Thanks to remembering by Albie on the Ramsey Campbell Forum:
From: http://vaultofevil.proboards75.com/i...ead=962&page=1 COLD PRINT by Ramsey Campbell "The Insects of Shaggai After a drunken boast, a man finds he has no choice but to go into the woods to find a supposedly powerful cone which had previously sent the last person to see it raving mad. He finds it, and one of its occupants invades his brain, and his is given a view of the creatures history, on a variety of far-off planets." EDITED: to correct link | |||||||||||

Re: Cones in Art & Literature
Elizabeth Bowen's Cones:
Enormous stalactites, shaped like cocoanut cones, hung from the roof of the cave, now and then a drop fell from the tip of a stalctite on to a torch, which would fizz horribly. - from ‘Brigands’ 1932 The others looked through the hinge crack. There Mr Beaker sat, looking pachydermatous. The armchair from which he protruded was of leather. The cigar from here being out of view, he appeared himself to be fuming, like a slow incense-cone, though of different odour. Comatose, reconciled to the absence of his spouse, he duly sickened with love at the sight of his little daughter: he would as soon not have. Dote, however, he always had, so he did. - From Part II (5) of ‘The Little Girls’ 1964 Jalousies were pulled to over the far window, so that no light fell across the head of the bed. A cone of sick-room incense on the bureau sent spirals up the daylight near the door; daylight fell cold white on the honeycomb quilt rolled back. Round the curtained bedhead, Pompeian red walls drank objects into their shadow; picture-frames, armies of bottles, boxes, an ornate clock showed without glinting, as though not quite painted out by some dark transparent wash. Henrietta had never been in a room so full and still. She stood by the door Miss Fisher had shut behind her, with her heart in her mouth. Her eyes turned despairingly to a bracket on which stood white spiked shells with cameos on their lips. The airlessness had a strange dry pure physical smell. - From Part I (4) of ‘The House in Paris’ 1935 ======== PS: If anyone interested, links to the DFL stories that contain the word 'cones' etc: http://weirdmonger.blog-city.com/con...literature.htm =========== | |||||||||||

Re: Cones in Art & Literature
An architectural example just came to mind! These conical homes, called trulli, can be found throughout Puglia:
