d 18 Dum Altrakh, Antra-Khii Mystique: "The power of words . . . is not in their comprehensibility -- it is often, as we find in [in the poetry of Edgar Allan] Poe, a function of their incomprehensibility, their indefinitiveness. . . . [I]ncomprehensible words . . . have a great power over people."11 In Literature: • "[The silver arrows' hiding place] can be found by pronouncing the magic words 'Dum Altrakh, Antra-Khii!' while facing the wall." -- Petteri Sulonen, "The Curse of Al-Rumil" (1999) 11 Rachel Polonsky, English Literature and the Russian Aesthetic Renaissance (1998)
