I only read it because I thought Sarnath in title reffered to the Indian city of same name.

This one described humans and their need to conquer just a little too well.

"There is in the land of Mnar a vast still lake that is fed by no stream and out of which no stream flows. Ten thousand years ago there stood by its shore the mighty city of Sarnath, but Sarnath stands there no more...

...it is certain that they worshipped a sea-green stone idol chiselled in the likeness of Bokrug, the Great water-lizard; before which they danced horribly when the moon was gibbous.“

One of my favorite things about Lovecraft is how old everything feels. Sarnath is in the Dreamlands, but it could just as easily be a terribly ancient city from before the flood.

Un paseo por estos mundos que tanto le gustaban describir al bueno de Howard.
