gods like Chtuhlu or Yog-Sototh ... please, forgive me: HPL was one of my 
favourite readings in my youth ...

        "When they hear of the Way,
        The highest minds hurry up to practice it;
        The average minds think about it
        They sometimes feel it real and sometimes not;
        The lowest minds laugh at it.
        If they did not laugh at it,
        It would not be the Way."
