I claim no copyright into this story by Gustav Meyrink, but being that the Petroleum, Petroleum story was created in 1903, the story is likely in the public domain. Even if it is not in the public domain, there is fair use in the analysis of the prophecy story in the light of the recent Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
