“To be bitter is to attribute intent and personality to the formless, infinite, unchanging and unchangeable void. We drift on a chartless, resistless sea. Let us sing when we can, and forget the rest.”
H.P. Lovecraft

I think HPL was a pessimist. He certainly looks happier in that photo than any others I’ve seen. Do you have any info about it?
