Cassilda Tapestries

Cassilda, Queen of Carcosa follower of Hastur the Yellow King inpired by H.P.Lovecraft.

"We spoke of Hastur and of Cassilda, while outside the fog rolled against the blank window-panes as the cloud waves roll and break on the shores of Hali." - Robert W. Chambers, The Yellow Sign

"Have you found the Yellow Sign?"

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa.

"My mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask."

Have you seen the Yellow Sign?

My interpretation of a version of Robert W. Chambers' "Yellow Sign," as if rendered in black onyx and gold. "It was neither Arabic nor Chinese, nor, as I found afterwards, did it belong to any human script."

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies, But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead, Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa. —"Cassilda's Song" in The King in Yellow Act 1, Scene 2

"My mind will bear forever the memory of the Pallid Mask."
