My soul has the arms of an octopus
To cuddle the whole world in;
O’er the cosmic sea, with emotion plus,
I float on a fluttery fin.
For Buddha has bidden my bosom burst
The collar that cramps us so—
And I sprinkle all space with the love that erst
Was lavish’d on Lima, O.
- H. P. Lovecraft, "Unity"
