This bit is from Lovecraft's "Dunwich Horror," which is often mistaken for the Call of Cthulhu, and it's the best writing I think Lovecraft ever did. It's dramatic, it's insane, and it's provocative. In short, it's the most entertaining thing he ever did, I think--and any clergy of any religion who hasn't considered it, really isn't doing their job of inciting the masses into panicked mobs. I'm not saying they should, but it's kind of what they're for, and I've never in my life heard a preacher that can work a room like this. lol

Never is it to be thought that man is the oldest or the last of the masters of Earth. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. The winds gibber with Their voices; the earth mutters with Their consciousness. They bend the forest. They raise up the waves. They crush the cities, yet not forest or ocean or cities beholds the hand that smites. As a foulness shall They be known to the race of man. Their hands are at the throats of men forever. From the beginning of known time to the end of time known, man rules where once They ruled. Soon, They shall rule again where man rules now. They shall return and on this returning shall great Cthulhu be freed from R'lyeh beneath the sea, and Him Who Is Not To Be Named shall come from His city, which is Carcosa near the lake of Hali, and Shub-Niggurath shall come forth and multiply in her hideousness, and Nyarlathotep shall carry the word to the Great Old Ones and their millions, and Yog-Sothoth, who is all in one and one in all, shall lay his hand upon that who oppose him and destroy. Then from the black-litten caverns within the earth, where all is chaos and destruction, shall come the noxious Azathoth and together They will take possession of all things that live upon earth.
numquam putandum est homines esse aut antiquissimos aut ultimos dominos orbis terrarum. Antiqui fuerunt, Antiqui sunt, Antiqui erunt. uenti cum uocibus eorum garriunt; terra cum conscientia eorum mussat. siluam flectunt, undas subleuant, urbes premunt. at nec silua nec mare nec urbes manum ferientem uidet. illos ut foeditatem cognoscet gens hominum. manus eorum faucibus humanis minabuntur in aeternum. a temporis noti principio usque ad temporis noti finem homines regunt ubi illi olim rexerunt. mox illi iterum regent ubi nunc homines regunt. redibunt et post hunc reditum magnus Cthulhu a R’lyeh transmarino liberabitur, et Ille Non Nominitandus ueniet ab urbe sua, quae est Carcosa prope lacum Hali, et Shub-Niggurath eueniet et sua in foeditate crescet, et Nyarlathotep uerbum ad Magnos Antiquos et milia eorum, et Yog-Sothoth, qui est omnia in uno et unum in omnibus, manum suam in omnes sibi aduersantes ac perdentes inferet. tum a luminum nigrorum cauernis subterraneis, ubi omnia sunt chaos atque exitium, ueniet noxius Azathoth, et una simulque possidebunt omnia per terras uiuentia.
