# Take this poem of his, for example:
 
[[/pol/|When, long ago, the gods created Earth	
<br>In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
<br>The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
<br>Yet were they too remote from humankind.
<br>To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
<br>Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
<br>A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
<br>Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.]]

His family cat was named after the same slur, to the Internet's eternal amusement. Lovecraft didn't pick the name himself, it was his father's idea, but being a young and impressionable kid he thought it was hilarious. The cats Lovecraft bought for himself in Providence were given more appropriate names.
