"We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with a wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have." "From Beyond," The Lurking Fear and Other Stories" by H. P. Lovecraft	The Doom That Came To Sarnath (1971) Howard Phillips Lovecraft, 1890-1937
