Written By: the Late Francis Wayland Thurston, of Boston

Fiction
Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a
survival… a survival of a hugely remote period when…
consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms
long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity…
forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying
memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all
sorts and kinds.
