Quotes from The Conquest of the Moon Pool… (Abraham Merritt)

Abraham Merritt, The Conquest of the Moon Pool… (1919)

“ Yes, we must pass within it—loving each other, loving the world, realizing to the full all that we sacrifice and sacrificing all, our love, our lives, perhaps even that you call soul, O loved one; must give ourselves all to the Shining One—gladly, freely, our love for each other flaming high within us—that this curse that threatens your earth shall pass away! For if we do this, pledge the Three, then shall that power of love we carry into it weaken and baffle for a time all that evil which the Shining One has become, and in that time the Three can strike and slay! ”

“ Yea, even the doom, Goodwin, that ye dreamed and the shadow of which, looking into your mind they see, say the Three.
"Doom, they say, utter doom and the end of all things; cruelty and wickedness unspeakable; slavery most evil and at the last a dead-alive globe menacing the firmament. For not upon earth and never upon earth can man find means to destroy the Shining One. And free there, enthroned, the Shining One will know the strength it has and that now it does not know it has. Nor, say they, does it need that court which Lugur and Yolara plan to follow it. It does not even need Yolara. ”

“ Again she paused.
"But within it is nothing of that greatest of all, that which can make powerless all the evil others, that which we call love," she ended softly.
"I'd like to be the one to put a little more fear in the beast," whispered Larry to me, grimly in our own English. The three weird heads bent, ever so slightly; a gleam as of approval flitted through the eyes. I gasped, and Larry grew a little white as Lakla nodded. ”

“ DID I see a shadow of pain flit across the flickering eyes? Wondering, I glanced at Lakla's face and there was a dawn of foreboding and bewilderment. For a little she held her listening attitude; then the gaze of the Three left her; focused upon the O'Keefe.
"Thus, speak the Silent Ones, through Lakla, their handmaiden." The golden voice was like low trumpet notes. "At the threshold of doom is that world of yours above. ”

“ But if they do not conquer—and the Shining One comes not to their aid, abandoning them events it abandoned its own Taithu—then will the Three be loosed from a part of their doom, and they will go through the Portal, seeking the Shining One beyond the Veil, and piercing it through fear's opening, destroy it. ”

“ But not every day are the mists rolled away to reveal undreamed secrets of earth-youth.
Rising, I found I was painfully stiff—as muscle-bound as though I had actually trudged many miles. Larry, imitating me, gave an involuntary groan.
"Oh, but I'm sorry!" mourned Lakla, leaning over us. "I have forgotten—for those new to it the way is a weary one." She ran to the doorway, whistled a clear high note down the passage.
"Go you, Larry and Goodwin, with Kra and Gulk," the handmaiden said, "and let them minister to you. After, sleep a little—for not soon will Rador and Olaf return. ”

“ Lakla broke the little silence.
"This, they say, is what is to happen. First will come upon us Lugur and Yolara with all their host. Because of fear the Shining One will lurk behind within its lair; for despite all, the Dweller does dread the Three, and only them. With this host the Voice and the priestess will strive to conquer. And if they do, then will they be strong enough, too, to destroy us all. Also, if they take the abode they banish from the Dweller all fear and sound the end. of the Three. ”

“ The ladala are ready to rise when Lugur and Yolara lead their hosts against us. They will strike at those left behind. And in the meantime we shall have disposed my Akka to meet Yolara's men. And on that disposal we must all take council, you, Larry, and Rador, Olaf and Goodwin and Nak, the ruler of the Akka. ”

“ And if so be you choose the latter, then will they show another way; that leads into the passage through which you came, and that opens also into the Chamber of the Moon Pool.
"There, carrying; food and drink, shall we stay until the Moon opens the door ”
