| 説明 | H. P. Lovecraft enjoyed spending warm afternoons reading and writing here; and he was one of the park’s most frequent visitors. The view from here was also one of Lovecraft's favorites of Providence; and is beautifully described in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward." It's easy to see why this was one of his favorite haunts; and has now become one of the favorite haunts and photo spots for his fans.Lovecraft might have been describing his own childhood, instead of that of the young Charles Dexter Ward, when he wrote the following as part of "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward": "The nurse used to stop and sit on the benches of Prospect Terrace to chat with policemen; and one of the child's first memories was of the great westward sea of hazy roofs and domes and steeples and far hills which he saw one winter afternoon from that great railed embankment, and violet and mystic against a fevered, apocalyptic sunset of reds and golds and purples and curious greens. The vast marble dome of the State House stood out in massive silhouette, its crowning statue haloed fantastically by a break in one of the tinted stratus clouds that barred the flaming sky."Photo taken by Will Hart on 20-August-1990.See and hear more Lovecraftian Items at the sister sites to these Flickr collections at:cthulhuwho1.comandwww.youtube.com/user/CthulhuWho1 |
