Ah! One of my favourites.
'And when they saw it they raised their hands towards it, towards the thousand chimneys, saying, “Behold the smoke. The old coal-forests that have lain so long in the dark, and so long still, are dancing now and going back to the sun. Forget not Earth, O our brother, and we wish thee joy of the sun.”'

I've posted another beautiful quote by Dunsany on Thread About Nothing. Nice to meet a fellow admirer.

Love your writing spooky. It is nice for a touch of perspective now and then. Is it terribly conservative where you live?

It is one of those strange places that flirts with all manner of decadence but is at heart quite stuffy and repressed, if that makes any sense?
