Drogulus by An Endless Sleep

"Suppose I say, ‘There’s a drogulus over there’ and you say … ‘What’s a drogulus?’ ‘Well,’ I say, ‘I can’t describe what a drogulus is, because it is not the sort of thing you can see or touch. It has no physical effects of any kind, but it’s a disembodied being.’ And you say, ‘Well, how am I to tell if it’s there or not?’ and I say, ‘There’s no way of telling. Everything’s just the same if it’s there or it’s not there. But the fact is it’s there. There’s a drogulus there standing just behind you.’ Does that make sense?"

"It is almost as if the nearer one approaches to a thing, the less it proves to be there, to exist at all."

"The human phenomenon is but the sum of densely coiled layers of illusion, each of which winds itself on the supreme insanity that there are persons of any kind when all there can be is mindless mirrors, laughing and screaming as they parade about in an endless dream."
