That is not dead which can eternal lie

Just discovered that H.P. Lovecraft's works are all available on Gutenberg.
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
And you'll need yBook to read them.

Lovecraft so ripped that off from Metallica:

"Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die"

From "The Thing That Should Not Be"

One day James Hetfield will join the ranks of literary giants.

Given that Lovecraft was writing in the 1920's and ealry 30's, I so think it was ripped the other way around...

Very perceptive, Eagle-eye Watts.
