Specifics

Specific examples and quotes of aether

“There is in certain ancient things a trace
Of some dim essence --
More than form or weight;
A tenuous aether, indeterminate,
Yet linked with all the laws of time and space.
A faint, veiled sign of continuities
That outward eyes can never quite descry;
Of locked dimensions harboring years gone by,
And out of reach except for hidden keys.”

excerpt from "XXXVI. Continuity"
by H.P. Lovecraft
