The Call of Cthulhu / Kallið frá Cthulhu

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents

a? miskunnsamlegasta ? heiminum held ?g a? s? vanh fni mannshugans til a? tengja allt innihald sitt.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity

Vi? b?um ? kyrrl?tri eyju f?fr ?i ? mi?ju svarthafs ?endanleikans

and it was not meant that we should voyage far

ok var eigi tla?, at v?r skyldum fara langt

The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little

V?sindin, sem hver vingast ? s?na ?ttina, hafa hinga? til ska?a? okkur l?ti?

but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up terrifying vistas of reality

en einhvern daginn mun sameining ?tengdrar ekkingar opna ?gnvekjandi s?n ? veruleikann

and of our frightful position within this reality will become clear to us

og um skelfilega st??u okkar innan essa veruleika ver?ur okkur lj?st

And we shall either go mad from the revelation, or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age

Og anna?hvort munum vi? ver?a vitlaus fr? opinberuninni, e?a fl?ja fr? banv nu lj?si inn ? fri? og ?ryggi n?rrar myrkra aldar
