The Mad Wind


Read "The Mad Wind" at The Eldritch Dark:


This early poem by Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) is short but quite powerful.  The richly evocative title sets the reader up with high expectations, and the poet delivers with a suggestion of things beautiful and terrible that the wind has encountered, and from which it seeks no "safety nor respite".  The combined hints of ecstasy and madness are well-developed, and all the more impressive for the brevity of the work.
