Etidorhpa — Chapter XL: Further Temptation — Etidorhpa Appears
http://etidorhpa40.blogspot.com/2007/09/further-temptation-etidorhpa.html
Etidorhpa — Chapter XL. Thursday, September 13, 2007. Further Temptation — Etidorhpa Appears. Could any man from the data of my past experiences have predicted such a scene? The band of spirits or fairy forms reached the rock at my feet, but I did not know how long a time they consumed in doing this; it may have been a second, and it may have been an eternity. Neither did I care. A single moment of existence such as I experienced, seemed worth an age of any other pleasure. Then, in the distance, I observ...

Etidorhpa — Chapter XLIX. Thursday, September 13, 2007. Oscillating Through Space — The Earth's Shell Above Us. Can this oscillation ever end? Are we to remain thus, as an unceasing pendulum, traversing space, to and fro across this invisible shell of attraction from now until the end of time? The greater degree of attraction for gases belongs, therefore, to the earth's exterior surface.". Exactly at the earth's exterior surface? Practically so. The greatest density of the air is found a few miles be...

Etidorhpa — Chapter VI: Kidnapped
http://etidorhpa6.blogspot.com/2007/09/kidnapped.html
Etidorhpa — Chapter VI. Wednesday, September 12, 2007. For your own sake, be quiet," said one of my companions in confinement, for the carriage was draped to exclude the light, and was as dark as a dungeon. My spirit rebelled; I felt that I was on the brink of a remarkable, perhaps perilous experience, and I indignantly replied by asking:. What have I done that you should presume forcibly to imprison me? Am I not a freeman of America? What have you done? Who has pronounced this sentence? He made no reply.

Etidorhpa — Chapter XVII. Thursday, September 13, 2007. The Fungus Forest — Enchantment. 8220; Smell your hand, “ said my guide. I did so, and breathed in an aroma like that of fresh strawberries. My guide observed ( I had learned to judge of his emotions by his facial expressions ) my surprised countenance with indifference. 8220; Try the next one,” he said. This being of a different species, when rubbed by my hand exhaled the odor of the pineapple. 8220; Extraordinary,” I mused. 8220; I cannot disprove...

Etidorhpa — Chapter XLIII. Thursday, September 13, 2007. To-morrow evening," said he, " I will return at nine o'clock. In the interim, if you still question any part of the story, or wish further information on any subject connected with my journey, I will be prepared to answer your queries. Since, however, that will be your last opportunity, I suggest that you make notes of all subjects that you wish to discuss.". Then, in his usual self-possessed, exquisitely polite manner, he bowed himself out. I acce...

Etidorhpa — Chapter XXXVIII. Thursday, September 13, 2007. But he desires to speak; speak lower, man, or head of man, if you wish me to know your wants," I said, and leaned toward him. Then the monster whispered, and I caught the words:. Back, back, go thou back! I made no reply. Back I say, back to earth or "-. Still I remained silent. Then go on," he said; " on to your destiny, unhappy man." "This is horrible," I muttered. Come," said the guide, " let us proceed.". And we moved onward. That they realiz...

Etidorhpa — Preface: Etidorhpa — Preface
http://etidorhpapreface.blogspot.com/2007/09/etidorhpa-preface.html
Etidorhpa — Preface. Saturday, September 15, 2007. Etidorhpa — Preface. Standing in a library of antiquated works, one sense the shadows of a cemetery. Each volume adds to the oppression, each old tome casts the influence of its spirit over the beholder, for have not these old books spirits? I sit in such a weird library and meditate. The shades of grim authors whisper in my ear, skeleton forms oppose my own, and phantoms possess the gloomy alcoves of the library I am building.

Etidorhpa — Chapter XLVI: The Inner Circle, or the End of Gravitation — In the Bottomless Gulf

Etidorhpa — Chapter XLVI. Thursday, September 13, 2007. The Inner Circle, or the End of Gravitation — In the Bottomless Gulf. Open your eyes," said my guide, " you have no cause for fear.". I acquiesced in an incredulous, dazed manner. This unusual experience is sufficient to unnerve you, but you need have no fear, for you are not in corporal danger, and can relax your grasp on my person.". This is the earth-shelf from which we sprung," said the guide; " it will soon disappear.". Where are we now? The se...

http://etidorhpa41.blogspot.com/2007/09/misery.html
Etidorhpa — Chapter XLI. Thursday, September 13, 2007. Thank God for the sun," I cried. " Thank God for the light and heat of the sun.". Said the angel: " Were there no sun there would be no men, but were there no men there would still be misery.". Water, water, water," I cried, and then in the distance as if in answer to my cry, I beheld a lake of water. Instantly every nerve was strained, every muscle stretched, and I fled over the sands towards the welcome pool. I motioned for water; I could not speak.

Etidorhpa — Chapter III. Wednesday, September 12, 2007. A Second Interview with the Mysterious Visitor. But was it a ghost? The Professor had been patient with me- I had a right to expect that; he was entertaining to the extent of reading such excerpts as he had with him on the subject of hallucinations and their supposed causes, but had he not spoiled all by assigning me at last to a place with the questionable, unbalanced characters he had cited? What was I to do with seven? I should look for whomever ...
