J.R.R. Tolkien
“Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he. Now I have walked there, but I will bring no report to darken the light of day”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Bruno Schulz
“The winter night began to wall itself in with black bricks of nothingness. Infinite expanses condensed into deaf, blind rock: a heavy, impenetrable mass growing into the space between things. The world congealed into nothingness.”
Bruno Schulz, Nocturnal Apparitions: Essential Stories
