In the eerie twilight of a forgotten chamber, the air hung heavy with a stifling scent of decay. Shadows writhed and whispered as the dim candlelight flickered against the aged, cracked walls. Within the room stood a painting, a portal to an abysmal realm beyond mortal comprehension. Its name was whispered with trepidation: "The Garden of Unearthly Delights" by the elusive and feared artist, Hieronymus Bosch. As I gazed upon the nightmarish canvas, my senses recoiled in horror. There, amid twisted branches and grotesque foliage, danced creatures that defied earthly logic. Unholy amalgamations of man and beast writhed in a grotesque ballet, their contorted bodies an affront to nature's design. Pale, elongated figures, their eyes vacant voids, whispered unspeakable secrets into the ears of wriggling monstrosities. The landscape itself seemed alive, pulsating with malevolence. Rivers of molten gold flowed through fields of shattered bones, while misshapen trees bore ripe, pulsating fruits that oozed vile ichor. Fiery-eyed demons roamed, brandishing instruments of torture, their leathery wings casting grotesque shadows upon the cursed ground. Yet, it was the central figure that captivated and repulsed me most. A monstrous beast, part man, part reptile, loomed over the chaotic scene. Its fangs dripped with venom, and its piercing gaze held the promise of eternal damnation. With every stroke of Bosch's brush, the abomination seemed to wriggle and writhe, its presence seeping into the very essence of the room. As I tore my gaze away from the painting, I felt a shudder run through my spine. Hieronymus Bosch had unlocked a nightmarish reality, weaving a tapestry of horror and despair. I feared that in glimpsing "The Garden of Unearthly Delights," I had peered into the abyss of a world beyond comprehension-a world where sanity crumbled, and the boundaries of existence shattered like fragile glass.

You write that well and waste your talent in a UA-cam comment? That is publishable work right there! 🤷
I listen to this while reading Dante's Inferno. Works quite well, I'd say. Thank you
And thank you for listening.
Tis a pretty, but yet, wonderfully abysmal garden. Loved it!
Indeed. Bosch is a delightful oxymoron of sinister beauty. Thanks for listening.
Impressive ambient music.
Also, insane to think these images are so old that Bosch painted them somewhere around the time Columbus reached America.
My, these pictures are really terrifying!I love it!❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
Trying it as i read Niven/ Pournelles 'Escape from hell'.👹
delightful atmosphere!
Thanks!
This is lovely, but I just wanna know if anybody listens to this like unironically
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for listening.
Yep
@@cherub555 Good to know that the track is being listened to unironically 🙂
