LiteratureThe Tree
The Tree is a classical tale of two celebrated sculptors, a prestigious commission and an uncanny olive tree growing beside a tomb. The public account celebrates Musides’s devotion to his friend Kalos, while details of illness, exclusive care and the tree’s final action invite a more troubling interpretation. Lovecraft leaves the implied betrayal unconfirmed by a direct confession or witnessed crime.
