LUNA-MOOR
Af H.P. Lovecraft
Denys Barry hat sliten, do quod dekhschatic ed pierno rig, ne gnohm. Eem ter kun is hat upernocten ye id senst ker bim ghomens, ed ho aurt iom hules ye id moment kun « id ject » hat gwohmen ad lambhnes iom. Bet, speit long ed rlienxien soks, nimen, in id conteit Meath, neter i weikers ni id police, hat aiwo ghohden retrehve eys trace ni tod altern. Ed nun kreuso ob terror kun auro batracs kwaxe in muraischa we sei wehso ye mekhtab in un isolen stet.
In America, quer is hiebit baygatasct, hieb io winto Denys Barry ed iom gratulim warm-ye kun is kieup id veut castell os Kilderry, dormant prokwem id moor. Xiawngja, kun eent ies potis os Kilderry, eys atav hieb wictum tod castell strugen pro id, yed meg diuper ed id vast baytel, tuich pon generations, lent-ye gadriebh. Barry mi scripsit ops-ye pos sien reiken do Erin : sub eyso jusay, iawert tors restahr ub ein pos ein ed id castell ex greis petra retrohv sien awo splendor ; ghedip slohnk ub kam prever engwn ia restauret murs ed i nowngmins bliegh iom de bringhus tsay id vetus suawakt med eys gold algven ocolo ia mars. Bet sem dieno naos gwohm ed, instet blaghe iom, i nowngmins mwaungsour kam kay skape un balstehmen. Ye tod moment is mi scripsit kay me prehge ke gwohm ad vide iom. Is eet meg mon in id castell : nimen con quel tolke, ploisko i nov khadims ed iens orbaters is hieb gwehmiht nordtos.
Origin tom quant naos, confidit Barry bi me yant id prest vesper, eet id moor. Eet lient ed io hieb arriven do Kilderry unte un schungjin soleurehp ; id waurngold beluc id glend iom clins ed iom mischken ed id blou ios moor ep-yod, ter, twis, medsu uno smulk insule, un stragno golden ruine samlik uni specter. I nowngmins os Ballyhough me hieb maunen : sigwreer od Kilderry eet hantet ed io krus protievol vidend-ye regwe ia bulanda tors ios castell. Barrys wogh me skohpt ye id station os Ballyhough (Kilderry esti dalg ud id railvia) ed i weikers, aun kaure de id wogh ni de iom choffeur, un nordtos wir, hieb gwohmt ad wehkwe me yant i hieb matht od gwahsim Kilderry. Ed ye id vesper enderghens Barry mi explie to hol.
I nowngmins hieb likwt Kilderry ob Barry sa-turs id moor. Albatta kiem is profund-ye Erin, lakin hieb America prect iom : detestit vide lustum tod schungjin rewos quetos ghohd bihe extragen ne tik torf sonstern semschi nov araszi, ed ia legends ed superstitions ios landios ne emoveer iom. Kun i nowngmins refuseer hehlpe iom poskwo, ant eys gwaukania, mutawik wiropeku do Ballyhough, is tik-ye glih de to ed tiey i po nordtos orbaters. Quan eys khadims likweer iom ep ir roig, is tiey i ye id sam weidos. Yed eet gwit meg trist con ti quant leuds qui ei eent tarnien. Itak hieb is me prohcto ke gwohm.
Manthus ma i landsleuds hieb mwaungsout, ioschi biglih, irghi baysas eent ios aiwo vaghst, stragnstios ed absurdstios gensios. Betrohveer un legend yeji-yod un daunosdrukh, kwitor ios moor, mukiem in id guway ruine io hieb dyohrct ep id pelegv ye soleurehp. Eet narret od luces diens ter unte aunluna nocts ed od un srig wind blahsit ter menxu id noct eet warm. Eentwert kathalika un imaginar petrawastu immerso sub id mayu surface ed drukhs oiswehbhend uper wed. Bayna ta legends eent oin frequent de-yod eet mutlak samstohmt : sekwent-yod, quel deursiet harme id immense subrudh muraisch we turses id bihiet balstohmt. Eent rounas, iey i nowngmins, ne-ya tohrbeer bihe aunkohldert ; rounas kekehlmen pon tawoun hieb hihn Partholòns purts unte ia fabuleus yars cis historia. In id « Lebor Gabála Érenn », toywert sunus im Hellens hieb quanti bihe begrabhen in Tallaght, yed ies geronts os Kilderry sigwreer un weiko hieb esen gahaben dank iam meundiv, sien protectrice ; itak tik widuclins covohr id i mensci os Nemed hieb gwohmen ex Skythia in ira trigim vecels.
Ta eent ia gossips qua hiebeer pussiren i weikers ad linkwes Kilderry ed io pau stieum od Barry hieb refuset klues i. Lakin archeologia maung interessit iom ed is bohd perichehxe id tursen moor. Is hieb ops visitet id kwit ruine ios pelegv : eet okwivid-ye meg aw ed nel-ye samkwohkit quo eet daydey trohft in Erin ; yed eet pior gerger yoitkwe khiek bihe revelen id zaman od idso splendor. Ia teursorbats vahr mox inkape ; ies nordtos orbaters vahr spolye id glendo moss ed idso subrudh vreik ex id banto moor. Neti bihient vis ia micri kiautpavet spruts ni ia sakwn blou selsa.
Id safer hieb esto strakeihnd ed kun Barry, qui hieb tolken unte un part ios noct, hieb zalohgen, meg swohpskwim. Un khadim duxit me do mien kamer, in un torel uperhangend id weik, id moor ed id nieber plain. Ud mien fensters, io vis, mekhtabbeluct, ia silent doms in-ya, pon i nowngmins hieb mwaungsoun, eeweikneunt ies orbaters. Io vis kathalika ia parwoikskyrk samt ids awo spice ed ter, ocolo id moor, id specterkwit ruine ep ids pelegv. Kun vahsim narce, credihsim aure dalgi muzlim primitive ed vagh-ye musical swons qua, ob id srehtstand do-yod me dehr, influenceer mien drehms. Bet posdini, kun io gohr, buim convict od io hieb sfallt, iaghi onirs io hieb haben eent meg extraordinarer quem ia swons uns fluyer nocts. Fascinen ab id legends qua Barry mi hieb reportet, io hieb drehmwandert in un pondost urb lyehgend in un fertil dal, quer quant, strads ed statues ex marmor, villas ed temples, bevis id klewos Hellads. Quando narrim mien drehm ad Barry, wey bo glih de, yed ego glih meis akster-ye ; isswo swurgh : iesghi orbaters is hieb gwehmihnens nordtos hieb, ye id dwot ker, gohrn baygh sert, lent-ye ed difficil-ye, agend kamsei ies habient nel-ye rahaten ; api eet woiden ies hieb quanti gwaht crovat aus perdini vesper.
Pre ed pos middien, spasserim saul in id sollucic weik, tolkend ex tid do tid con iens aunbesoyn orbaters, menxu Barry eet besic med ia senst garwis. Toy wirs eent pau noroct ed quasi quanti tengier aziyat ab un drehm quod ies neti mohm. Ibs narrim mieno. Tod interessit iens bad kun io allus ia mysterieus melodias io hieb credihn aure. Tun ies me glaz curieus-ye ed mi sieyg od iesschi mohm vagh-ye sem stragno music.
Unte id dorkwo, Barry mi mohld ia teursorbats inkapient uperposdini. Io ghaws de, ioghi sammel regretim vide disparihes moss ed vreik, spruts ed selsa, ed stets meis akster-ye aunstohcskwim ia awa rounas bedohlven sub id torf. Unte tod noct, mien drehms de fluyers ed peristyls gnohr un brutal ed bfuxiong fin : io vis id dalcitad hihn ab tawoun, dind ia widuclins collapseer ed uper ia cadavers in ia strads. Destruction gahieb tik id temple as Artemis, atopp id clin, quer lyohg ia silent ed srig anua Cleis, lunaprysteria, samt un ivorcron ep sien argwrntkays.
Ho sayct od buim brusk-ye protiebudt, praedd os terror. Unte sem instants, io ne wois kweter io swohp we wiekh, inghi mien aurs dar cliengh id swon iom fluyers ; bet kun io vis wardhe ep id demped, sub ia glehdjbams ios meun, id ambhriss uns gothic fenster, io kohns od sollim ses wakh in mien kamer os Kilderry ; dind un piern horlog swohn 2 saat ed io neti hieb dwoi. Id dalgtos swon iom fluyers naghohd do me, kanend wild ed mysterieus melodias, evoquend faunendansa ep id pierno Maenel. Erght, khakend narce, io klieup ub ed bistiup unte id kyal. Kjiawxieng trohcim kyid nordfenster, quetos io vis id swehpend weik ed id plain ana id moor. Nel-ye spohcskwim dalger, ioghi wohn bilhassa swohpye ; bet id swon iom fluyers naaziyiet me ed mi eet zaruri kwehre we vide semject. Quosmed habiem io ghohdt suspece to quos vahsim ses weitwodd ?
In id immense mekhtabmadhen plain, dyisim un spectacle quod nel merti vidus id ghehdiet myehrse. Ye id swon iom nays, quos echo ghohd do me unte id aykwos, un grupp em fantastic silhouettes twohr foll-ye, effrenat-ye fordansen. Io mohn dei awens Sicilians qui plins pro Demeter sub id karpstmeun ana id Cyane.
Id vast plain, id argwrntic mekhtab, ia dansend skadhs ed uper hol id acut ed monoton swon iom fluyers quasi me sromihr. Nespekent mien dekhschat, lakin kieusim od id dwidel tim nestrakible, kwecto mecanic dansers, eent ies orbaters io hieb crediht swehpe, menxu alter dwidel eet stragn airlik albhdut creatures, unios nebestohmt buhsa, yed quas solleer ses sem pall ed pensive nayades ex ia hanten iswors ios moor. Ne woidim kamdiu io nadyi tod spectacle kata mien fenster, in id isolen torel, pre sehnke do un aundrehm swehpen, quetos me traxit id aghyernsol.
Mien prest bren, kun io gohr, buit bayane mien baysas ed observations ad Denys Barry, bet vidus ia solbams qua tohr id eustfenster, buim convicto de id irrealitat os quo io hieb vis. Ho yando stragn onirs, yed naiwo som kafi slabo pro credihes ia ; ye tod waurmen, me contentim med sprehge iens orbaters quoy, gehrus meg sert, conserveer neid mehmen ios prever noct, ploisko tod meg vagh ios music. Tod storia om drukhfluyers me aziyiet maung ed io dieum an i osyern churchours ne hieb gwohmen in perodhia kay trouble id noct ed hante ia drehms im menscen. Lyt serter, vidend-ye Barry chehxe eys plans in id bibliotheque (ia orbats dohlg inkaptum posdini), io spruv ye id prest ker un suspecen tos paur quod hieb chasset i nowngmins. Bi semo negnoht sabab, tremblim quando mi enfiell visum destruge id awo moor, ed ia rounas id kulk, ed io exmohn terrible spectacles bedohlven in ids obscure ed aunbudmen anun.
Mi kwohk bawlawo probehre do diewo solg rounas. Me lambh un brusk desire de trehve sem sababo bi-yod linkwes id castell ed id weik. Io gwohm do submitte ta questions ad Barry med kinayas, yed is iliey ed io ne durs nasprehge. Also natieycim kun id id regwos lahsit ia piern clins, menxu Kilderry se transformit do un kwecto omineus goldrudh glest.
Buir ia noctwakyas druv au imaginar ? To woidsiem naiwo samt yakinia. Udleitent incontestable-ye quanto ghehdt bihe exmohnt ep ardh au in id universe ; yed niosmed ghehdo explie ta wakyas sont-ya gnohn ab quantens pon sont khatem. Io sgwohm aus, vagh-ye alarmen, khakend unte un khvil narce, in id mysterieuso silence ios tor. Eet meg deusk, ob id meun discrohsc ed ne sollit wuses pre prue. Lyehgend ep mien crovat, io mohn de Denys Barry ed de id fat ios moor oins kun dien proe-gwehmiet. Io fujatan foll-ye fucskwim in id noct med Barrys wogh ed mwaungsoue do Ballyhough, dalg ud id menacet araszi. Bet niercim pre dostringus mien project ed revis in onir id dalurb, srig ed mortu sub un kafan ex hideuso skadh.
Aundwoi id acut swon iom fluyers protiebud me bet io ne vighieb to fauran. Quan io ghyien mien okwi, io lyohg za id eustfenster, uperspohc-yod id moor ; ye tod gon sollit id meun wuses, exspectim ghi vide ids luce se reflege ep id witer mur, yed io khiek previde id sehkwnd spectacle : terkye eet luce ep id mur, bet ne tod ios meun. Ex id gothic fenster, un sammel daumost ed terrible blindeihnd rudh luce miedh id kyal. Mien prest mov buit stragn in cid fall, bet tik in romans bihnt parkwohrn ia exspecten dramatic gestes. Instet aunstehcskwe id surce tos nov luce, io vergih, praedd uns panic terror, spehce kyid fenster ed kyopev-ye swetraxit mien roubes, samt id vagh ziel os folossie ia kay fuges. Mehmo yaschi seizus mien revolver ed mien hat, bet pre id fin ios aventure, io hieb lusen ambo, aun strehlus oins ni me kufyevs. Pos sem instant, id fascination ios rudh erkwen uperwohndit mien dekhschat ed io snohg tiel id eustfenster kay vide quo wakyit exo. Id steunen iom effrenat fluyers plehsit hol castell ed weik.
Uper id moor, un spleindos ex id ruine ios pelegv sikwit, scarlat ed buxianxu. Quosmed tar describe id aspect iospet ruine ? Sollim ses foll unte tod instant : io vis id oistaue, intact ed splendid, perambhto med majestueus colunns ; id entablement, quer se reflexeer flammes, kwohk tehre id waurn kam tod uns temple atopp un ghyor. Id schrill swon iom fluyers buit stayg joinen ab tamburs. In angst, io credih dyehrce dansend formes quom grotesk silhouettes wierdh ant id lamper marmor. Id pondos eet ajib, ed habiem remant aunfin-ye in dyeia sei, levter quem ego, id swon iom fluyers ne habiet kwecto brusk-ye oisum. Tremblend ob un paur curieus-ye blanden ad extase, io tohr id circular kyal kyid nordfenster, quod uperspohc id weik ed id plain. Tun mien okwi pfwohng ob surprise, kamsei ne habient ja dyin un extergena scene : in id plain laht ab un gargic rudh luce, ieg perodh un cortege creaturen kam viden in coschmars.
Med un pwolsleidend pwolswehbhend gwayt, ias albhdut nayades rik lent-ye kyid sakwn wedor ed id ruine ios pelegv, jamiyen kam ias danssters iom antique ceremonias. Niht ab id detestable swon invisiblen fluyern ed obedeihnd uno mysterieus rythme, ias dahr znayc, med ir wandlik ed bantowmeing brakhs, ei menegh iom orbaters quoy sohkweer ians kam kwauns, ghangend kam blinds au folls, kwecto dribhen ab un kyopev yed irresistible diabolic force.
Kun ias nayades process inexorable-ye prosch id moor, io vis gwehme ex id castell, unte un dwer stahndo meg ender mien fenster, un nov massaf em zigzaghant ed titubant sesens, kam makhmour wirs. Stohmbeer unte id ghehrd ed un part ios village ed joineer in id plain id wadelnd agmen. Speit id distance, io recognih fauran i nordtos khadims. Ithan dyohrc io id dusformen gastalt ios cokwios, quospet biauria bihsit nukwt-ye tragic unte tod instant. Ed dar id horrible swon iom fluyers, sohkwn ab tod iom tamburs. Arriven prosch id wed, ias nayades entreer id ein pos ein, graciu ed niem, ed alters, aun aiwo nilente, sohkweer ians tetro kyopev-ye ed disprohp samt un gwehlen om dussaun burbules, payn visible in tod scarlat luce. Kun is piwon cokwo, senstos tom pathetic caudaschen, hieb sohnken gwaur-ye do id daunost vivair, ia fluyers ed tamburs tieyc, ia blindeihnd bams ex id ruine sgwes brusk-ye ed id balstohmen weik remien tuich ed lamentable sub ia pall bams ios nov meun.
Io hieb taiper id pondos od io me strubh in un indescriptible chaos. Ne woidend kweter eem foll au walmenos, swehpend au wakh, buim salven tik dank un rahim karakh. Credeihmi mehldus joking-ye ad Artemis, Laton, Persephone ed Pluton. Vasyi classic mehmens ex mien yuwent oistigh tsay do mien lipps ed id horror ios situation regohn in me suakohlen superstitions. Io vighieb esus weitwodd ios total disparition uns weik ed io wois eem saul in id castell con Denys Barry, quos deursia hieb suwen tod balstehmen. Mehnend-ye de iom, nov terrors hajoumeer me ed io me sis falle ghom, ne bayaldissen sontern uperkwohlmen. Dind io khiss id glehdjwind entre unte id eustfenster, ex id gon quer id meun hieb wust, ed fauran, io ieur uper me heuls qua niek mox talg intensitat ed kweit quem werds mankent kay describe ia ed quem som quasi bayaldissend kun som mehnend de. Quanto ghehdo sayge est od is ses qui emiss ia hieb xiawngja esen mien prient.
Aundwoi wind ed heuls disbayaldissihr me unte tod atroce instant. Mehmo poskwo un foll drahsa unte kyehrsen salls ed corridors ed, tehrus id ghehrd, un strehmghalvo fug in id noct. Buim retrohven ye octent, errend in id jawar os Ballyhough. Mieno ment eet forlit, bet ia horrors io hieb vis we aurta prever ne eent quo aziyiet meist me. Quando lent-ye disbayaldissim, io allus dwo facts qua hieb tyohct unte mien fug, dwo insignificant facts qua yed nahantent me quando som saul prokwem uno muraisch, au nocts in mekhtab.
Feugend id balstohmen castell, io ieur, engwn id moor, un blosko quod per se hieb neid extraordinar ed quod yed io ne hieb naiwo kwaht in Kilderry. Id stagnant wedor, tuntro alnos beghis quodkwe animal gwit, uperpohldeer taiper med un horde em enorm viskeus batracs quim acut aunstop cries contrasteer stragn-ye binisbat ir mege. Smeuk, glend ed coyer, kwecto dyir id mekhtab. Io sohkw id spect al piwonst ed hideusst, ed, ye id dwoter ker, buim weitwodd os un spectacle quod udlit mien aum.
Seid ex id stragno ruine ios pelegv tiel id meun strohc uno muzlim gwayderbam. In mien feber, io credih visum stighes lent-ye, ep tod bleid wegh, uno minc ed convulgen skadh, un vagh skadh quod vrikst, unte dekhschatic contorsions, contra invisible demons qui kwohk todribhes id. Tod hideuso skadho tengicit pro mien formohnto ment uno mustring portrait, un inconceptible coschmar caricature, un blasphem effigie tos qui hieb esen Denys Barry.
