"Así que a través de los crespúsculos interminables soñé y esperé, aunque no
sabía que esperaba. Entonces en la soledad sombría mi añoranza de la luz
creció tanto que no pude descansar más, y levante las manos unidas a la
torre solitaria y ruinosa que se alzaba sobre el bosque al firmamento
desconocido.
Y finalmente decidí escalar esa torre, aunque pudiera caer; ya que es mejor
contemplar el cielo y perecer, que vivir no viendo jamás el día."

H.P. Lovecraft, "El Extraño"
