Oriab is a very
great isle, and its port of Baharna a mighty city. The wharves of Baharna
are of porphyry, and the city rises in great stone terraces behind them...
As the ship drew into the harbor at evening the twin beacons Thon and Thal
gleamed a welcome, and in all the million windows of Baharna's terraces
mellow lights peeped out quietly and gradually as the stars peep out
overhead in the dusk, till that steep and climbing seaport became a
glittering constellation hung between the stars of heaven and the
reflections of those stars in the still harbour.
—H. P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
