The Book of the Damned

In
the
Astronomische
Nachrichten,
No.
3477,
Dr.
Brendel,
of
Griefswald,
Pomerania,
writes
that
Postmaster
Ziegler
and
other
observers
had
seen
a
body
about
6
feet
in
diameter
crossing
the
sun's
disk.
The
duration
here
indicates
something
far
from
the
earth,
and
also
far
from
the
sun.
This
thing
was
seen
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
it
reached
the
sun.
Time
in
crossing
the
sun
was
about
an
hour.
After
leaving
the
sun
it
was
visible
an
hour.
I
think
he's
a
vast,
black
vampire
that
sometimes
broods
over
this
earth
and
other
bodies.
Communication
from
Dr.
F.B.
Harris
(Popular
Astronomy,
20-398):
That,
upon
the
evening
of
Jan.
27,
1912,
Dr.
Harris
saw,
upon
the
moon,
"an
intensely
black
object."
He
estimated
it
to
be
250
miles
long
and
50
miles
wide.
"The
object
resembled
a
crow
poised,
as
near
as
anything."
Clouds
then
cut
off
observation.
Dr.
Harris
writes:
"I
cannot
but
think
that
a
very
interesting
and
curious
phenomenon
happened."

Short
chapter
coming
now,
and
it's
the
worst
of
them
all.
I
think
it's
speculative.
It's
a
lapse
from
our
usual
pseudo-standards.
I
think
it
must
mean
that
the
preceding
chapter
was
very
efficiently
done,
and
that
now
by
the
rhythm
of
all
quasi-things--which
can't
be
real
things,
if
they're
rhythms,
because
a
rhythm
is
an
appearance
that
turns
into
its
own
opposite
and
then
back
again--but
now,
to
pay
up,
we're
what
we
weren't.
Short
chapter,
and
I
think
we'll
fill
in
with
several
points
in
Intermediatism.
