Anyway, awesome pic that you can just see happening before your eyes

'' When I look around me, I feel ashamed of my former apprehension. If I trembled at the blast which hitherto attended us, shall I not stand aghast at a warring of wind and ocean, to convey any idea of which, the words tornado and simoon are trivial and ineffective? All in the immediate vicinity of the ship, is the blackness of eternal night, and a chaos of formless water; but, about a league on either side of us, may be seen, indistinctly and at intervals, stupendous ramparts of ice, towering away into the desolate sky, and looking like the walls of the universe. ''
Poe or Lovecraft?
Mark Twain, I think, said something to the effect of All ''Originality'' is merely taking what's already been done and crossing it over with other things in a way that 'Hasn't' been done.
To that effect, Lovecraft took Poe, Dunsany, Bierce, Algernon, Scheherazade and several others - and crossed them with Modern Science and the Existentialist movement.
That's why later Surrealist's were so inspired to make such lovely examples of Horror art as are sometimes on the cover of Lovecraft story collections.
Same basic themes as Dada - Nihilism and all that.
In a way, Cthulhu is like a 'cross'over of Jesus, Satan, and Godzilla.
(which is funny - since The story predates ''Gojira'' by some 15-30 years.)
Here's a hint, It involves Sailing.
And that in the story - the message which tells the Tale was found in the sea. In a Reflective Container.
