Encyclopedia entry

Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their
habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Yog-Sothoth
is the key to the gate, whereby the spheres meet. Man rules now
where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now.
After summer is winter, and after winter summer. They wait
patient and potent, for here shall They reign again.
