The Dreams Of Our Sleep

[G. S. Carnivals]

Quote ( View Quotes )
Because when the sky begins to darken, as if rotting before our eyes, and when our bones begin to change, growing soft with decay, we know that all the ways of our lives have been leading us, and can only lead us, to this degenerate little town. And then we may understand that everything around us, everything within us, has a direct point of contact to that secret place, that source of all things. Dreams, for instance, the dreams of our sleep wherein every mind is destined to go twisted and tilting into lands of swift magic. These dreams alone would make the case - if anything were ever needed in the way of evidence. These dreams alone would put us in close view of those grimy windows behind which diseased faces peek out through the glass, as if they are waiting for someone to arrive - as if they are waiting for everyone, sooner or later, to enter their little town.       Thomas Ligotti - “This Degenerate Little Town” Added by: G.
