    "that is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, even dreams may die..."

  • @lesnyk255

    It took me two separate visits to find it, and on the 2nd I was just on the verge of giving up when I stumbled across it. It was an incredibly emotional, cathartic experience - this 60 yr old male actually burst into tears, and for a few minutes I could not control my sobbing. I couldn't believe I'd achieved my Unknown Dream Quest. I, too, could only find a few coins to leave atop the stone - but someone had left a single, cellophane-wrapped rose, so I jotted down a little note and stuck it inside the bag: "That which is not dead can eternal lie / and with strange aeons, even Death may die..." Another bucket list item crossed off!

    I went there a couple years ago with my nephew, a fan of Lovecraft. We had the same experience trying to find it. Finally, some groundskeepers guided us directly there. Then, it made sense why we had hard time finding it because it can seem hidden. Such a large, serene place to wander. We also, wandered the streets of Providence to see Lovecraft points which my nephew knew about.

    What most people don't realize is much of what Lovecraft wrote is actually truth and not fiction.
    It's fascinating how he knew all of these things way back then.
    Almost like he was from another planet..I'm happy that Stuart Gordon put alot of his stories up on the big screen and they remain some of my favorite movies.. Nice job guys!🤘😎
