The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their

"Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them so:
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
