Bird of Long Ago

Read "Bird of Long Ago" at The Eldritch Dark:


This short poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) paints a simple but evocative image of a distinctive mark on a blackbird's wing, and how that anomaly becomes entwined with a springtime remembered.  Despite the brevity, there is a distinct feeling of wistfulness to "Bird of Long Ago".
