Borges vs Lovecraft: should the infinite comfort or terrify?
BORGES vs H.P. LOVECRAFT go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
BORGES
The infinite is a library, sir - endless galleries where every book already contains us, and we walk them gladly.
H.P. LOVECRAFT
A library? I have gazed into that same immensity and found only cold, indifferent things that regard mankind as an accident.
BORGES
You flee from the void screaming; I merely browse its shelves, for a mystery loved is far grander than a mystery feared.
H.P. LOVECRAFT
Then you have not truly looked, my friend - the day your labyrinth reveals its center, you will pray it had stayed a maze.
