“It was three o'clock; the hour when life's pulses beat lowest; when poor souls lying between life and death find it hardest to resist.”
― Algernon Blackwood, THE EMPTY HOUSE AND OTHER GHOST STORIES

“The natural man, then, is a singer and a poet, and so we may say that all artists are in reality survivals from an earlier time, and so it is that even in these later days the lad, with something of the youth and true nature of his race restored to him for a brief hour, sits in solitary places and endeavours to exercise his birthright. Alas! he stutters deplorably in his speech as he delays by the Wandle, inditing verses; but it is thus that he would declare that he is a citizen of no mean city; he would fain say through those sorry rhymes, Civis cœlestis sum.”
― Machen Arthur, Far Off Things

“the most amazing things are latent in the commonest, most everyday, ordinary circumstances; and, furthermore, that these amazing things are the only realities in the matter, and the only realities that do matter.”
― Arthur Machen, The London Adventure or The Art of Wandering

“And if one looks a little more closely into the nature of things it will become pretty plain, I think, that all that really matters and really exists is ineffable; that both the world without us—the tree and the brook and the hill—and the world within us do perpetually and necessarily transcend all our powers of utterance, whether to ourselves or to others. Night and day, sunrise and moonrise, and the noble assemblage of the stars, are continually exhibited to us, and we are forced to confess that not for one moment can we proclaim these appearances adequately.”
― Machen Arthur, Far Off Things
