Which Lovecraft story contains the phrase 'That is not dead which can eternal lie'?

Which Lovecraft story contains the phrase “That is not dead which can eternal lie”? The answer is “The Nameless City.”

The line appears near the conclusion of Lovecraft’s 1921 short story, where it is presented as an inscription associated with the ancient, abandoned city. The quotation continues with “And with strange aeons even death may die.”

The passage is often mistakenly associated with Cthulhu because it became one of the best-known quotations in the Cthulhu Mythos. However, “The Call of Cthulhu” does not contain the line. “The Nameless City” is an earlier Lovecraft story and introduces the quotation in its original context.

The phrase is attributed within the story to Abdul Alhazred, the fictional author of the Necronomicon. It later became a recurring cultural reference to Lovecraft’s themes of ancient entities, forbidden knowledge, and cosmic horror.
