The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Shadow out of Time by H. P. Lovecraft: In
places the masonry was very loose and distorted, and I wondered
how many aeons more this primal, hidden edifice could keep its
remaining traces of form amidst earth's heavings.
But it was
the carvings themselves that excited me most. Despite their time-crumbled
state, they were relatively easy to trace at close range; and
the complete, intimate familiarity of every detail almost stunned
my imagination.
That the major attributes of this hoary masonry
should be familiar, was not beyond normal credibility.
