Day 13 - A Fictional Book

Celephais

"... Kuranes had awaked the very moment he beheld the city, yet he knew from his brief glance that it was none other than Celephais, in the vally of Ooth-Nargai beyond the Tanarian Hills, where his spirit had dwelt all the eternity of an hour one summer afternoon very long ago, when he had slipt away from his nurse and let the warm sea-breeze lull him to sleep as he watched the clouds from the cliff near the village. He had protested then, when they had found him, waked him, and carried him home, for just as he was aroused he had been about to sail in a golden galley for those alluring region where the sea meets the sky. And now he was equally resentful of awaking, for he had found his fabulous city after forty weary years..."

This is a bit of my favourite story from the book The Call Of Cthulhu And Other Weird Stories by H.P Lovecraft.
