61) The Tree

Description
It tells the story of the esteemed sculptors Kalos and Musides, very close friends who live together, who have become rivals in the creation of a monumental statue of Tyche the Goddess of Fortune commissioned by the Tyrant of Syracuse. It is an old fashioned kind of story-a little Damon and Pythias, a little Cain and Abel-which Lovecraft brings to a satisfying, if somewhat elliptical conclusion.

Description
This little piece is unusual for Lovecraft. It is not so much a weird tale as a discussion about weird tales. in which two men sitting on a dilapidated tomb in an old graveyard-writer Randolph Carter (H.P. surrogate) and his friend high school principal Joel Manton-debate whether a writer owes his readers an explicit description of horrors, or whether it is better to leave the greatest horrors "unnamable."

When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly, in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of Spring's flowering meads; when learning stripped the Earth of her mantle of beauty and poets sang no more of twisted phantoms seen with bleared and inward looking eyes; when these things had come to pass, and childish hopes had gone forever, there was a man who traveled...
