Eureka!
After many years of wracking my brains I finally came upon the name of Sidney Sime, who once illustrated many of Lord Dunsany's writings.
Both Dunsany and Sime are responsible to influencing my younger self's early evolution of my comprehension of the nature of Deity. Dunsany and Sime made for an excellent transition from monotheism to where I am now. If I knew any kids growing up in monotheistic households, I would buy and share Dunsany/Sime with them.
BTW, if any of you can point me to an on-line image for Sime's illustration of fame used in one of Dunsany's books, please pass me the link. Looming spectre holding a wreath . Fame arises from ground which is not mortal. I suspect if I could remember the exact title of the illustration I could find it.
==========================================
Mana-Yood-Sushai
The chief of the gods of Pegāna is Mana-Yood-Sushai, who created the other gods and then fell asleep; when he wakes, he "will make again new gods and other worlds, and will destroy the gods whom he hath made." Men may pray to "all the gods but one"; only the gods themselves may pray to Mana-Yood-Sushai.
Skarl the Drummer
After Mana-Yood-Sushai "made the gods and Skarl", Skarl made a drum and began to beat on it in order to lull his creator to sleep; he keeps drumming eternally, for "if he cease for an instant then Mana-Yood-Sushai will start awake, and there will be worlds nor gods no more." Dunsany writes that
Some say that the Worlds and the Suns are but the echoes of the drumming of Skarl, and others say that they be dreams that arise in the mind of MANA because of the drumming of Skarl, as one may dream whose rest is troubled by sound of song, but none knoweth, for who hath heard the voice of Mana-Yood-Sushai, or who hath seen his drummer?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_of_Peg%C4%81na
