Остросоциальная поэзия
Лавкрафт не обходился в своём творчестве одними фантастическими метафорами.
On the Creation of Niggers:
When, long ago, the gods created Earth;
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were designed;
Yet were too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest of Man,
Th'Olympian host conceived a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger..
Негодующие негры угрожают расправой!
"...if Lovecraft were a living author who read that work aloud in my presence during that period in my life, he would have had a really bad day."
Стиль статьи вообще поразительно напоминает результаты умственного напряжения на ту же тему наших нацменов.
