Throwaway line

A chapter ending from Almuric; Robert E. Howard's foray into Barsoom pastiche:
"And so began my third captivity on Almuric, in the black citadel of Yugga, on the rock Yuthla, by the river of Yogh, in the land of Yagg."
I don't know why, but that list of outlandish, kind of Lovecraftian sounding names, just really hits the spot for me.
