The Call of Cthulhu / Die Oproep van Cthulhu

<p><strong>The most merciful thing in the world I think is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents</strong></p><p>Die mees barmhartige ding in die wêreld dink ek is die onvermoë van die menslike verstand om al sy inhoud te korreleer</p><p><strong>We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity</strong></p><p>Ons woon op 'n rustige eiland van onkunde te midde van swart see van oneindigheid</p><p><strong>and it was not meant that we should voyage far</strong></p><p>en dit was nie bedoel dat ons ver moes reis nie</p><p><strong>The sciences each straining in its own direction have hitherto harmed us little</strong></p><p>Die wetenskappe wat elkeen in sy eie rigting inspan het ons tot dusver min skade berokken</p><p><strong>but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up terrifying vistas of reality</strong></p><p>maar eendag sal die samevoeging van gedissosieerde kennis skrikwekkende uitsigte van die werklikheid oopmaak</p><p><strong>and of our frightful position within this reality will become clear to us</strong></p><p>en van ons skrikwekkende posisie binne hierdie werklikheid sal vir ons duidelik word</p><p><strong>And we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age</strong></p><p>En ons sal óf mal word van die openbaring óf vlug van die dodelike lig na die vrede en veiligheid van 'n nuwe donker eeu</p>
