Wow, I can't believe Lovecraft wrote this. I suppose in a lot of ways, this story directly mirrors Lovecraft's own outlook on life. He had always been the outsider filled with "childish" dreams, unrealistic fancies, and never truly managed to grow up despite growing old. Furthermore, during his lifetime, much of his work never did find the welcome and acceptance that he, no doubt, pined for and that he died meekly and quietly after eking out a short existence. But I guess it also says something about the mercy and goodness of our world compared to the Lovecraftian Elder World that the dreams and fancies of the starry-eyed dreamer did not die with him. Instead, today we celebrate Lovecraft's legacy with thousands of derivative books, movies, cthulhu plushies, youtube channels, etc.

Yes, it's not a typical Lovecraft story. It is supposed to be his attempt to emulate Lord Dunsany (whom I also uploaded multiple audiobooks). :-)

Its such a wonderful story, he had to miss his entire life because no one around was able to see the beauty, that - by seeing it - wouldve existed.

I have been a musician/songwriter for nearly 2 decades now and have always known my work and creations to seem starkly foreign to my past experiences, my environment of upbringing, to those who listen and even to myself at times. I marvel at the many great works of the late Mr. Lovecraft and upon hearing this story for the first time, i was awarded the most significant and perhaps most horrific realization that i believe Howard tried to convey... relation. I feel an inexplicable similarity between Iranon and I and perhaps in some fields of dream swept time and space I may be granted the oppurtunity, however personal, to thank the great author of this magnificent tale... or to meet the seeker of Ira himself

To me, he is also Romnod. His ambitious but mundane side. Iranon is that side of the artist that is still searching.

This seems heavily coded. I could just be paranoid though. May I indulge myself? If we are in the eye of god, Do we ever see the color of his eye? Or is this existence simply staring into darkness, Forever focused will his gaze blind us? Could my hope for wisdom cure my humanity Of the demons between my ears. Or will I be swallowed in his stare, In the stars of a greater mystery.
