E può anche accadere che una stanza sontuosamente arredata sparisca davanti ai vostri occhi in una sorta di incubo senza spazio e senza tempo.

De vermaarde arts dr. Henry Jekyll vindt een middel uit dat de kwade kant van zijn persoonlijkheid, die hij Edward Hyde noemt, oproept.

Water is everywhere, and where there is water is the shadow of menace.
