And the House was monstrous and huge, and full of quiet lights; and it was truly as that there had been no Sound ever in that House through Eternity; but yet was it as that the heart did think each moment to see quiet and shrouded figures within, and yet never were they seen; and this I do but set down that I bring all home unto your hearts also, as that you crouched there with me in those low moss-bushes, there beside the Great Road, and did look upward unto that Monstrous House of Everlasting Silence, and did feel the Utterness of silence to hang about it in the night; and to know in your spirits the quiet threat that lived silent there within.
"The Night Land"
William Hope Hodgson
And I thought the cry to have an Utterness of supplication within it; so that I grew desperate to up and go to running; yet did curb such foolishness, and stayed very hushed, to listen.
"The Night Land"
William Hope Hodgson
The only movement of the drama is a gradual extinguishing of all the familiar lights of human life, with, perhaps, at the end, a suggestion that in the Utterness of night, when all fears of a possible worse thing are passed, there is in some sense peace and even glory.
