Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Essayist, Poet &

Master-writer of the Weird

1890-1937

He lived—and now is dead beyond all knowing

Of life and death: the vast and formless scheme

Behind the face of nature ever showing

Has swallowed up the dreamer and the dream.

But brief the hour he had upon the stream

Of timeless time from past to future flowing

To lift his sail and catch the luminous gleam

Of stars that marked his coming and his going

Before he vanished: yet the brilliant wake

His passing left is vivid on the tide

And for the countless centuries will abide:

The genius that no death can ever take

Crowns him immortal, though a man has died.

Francis Flagg
