𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑: Yes.

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖: W-Would you be... willing to give that to me again?

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑: I would much prefer... (The King gasps.) To hear the world described in the way you see it. It's a cold, drab place, but you've always tended to make it sound brighter.

❝I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon, when the twin suns sink into the lake of Hali; and my mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask. I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow.❞
