Cattle Salute the Psychopomp

Read "Cattle Salute the Psychopomp" at The Eldritch Dark:

This poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) has a clear relationship to "Slaughter-House in Spring", which I read yesterday.  "Cattle Salute the Psychopomp"   presents a prelude to the activities which will soon be occurring at the abattoir, as those awaiting slaughter appeal to the cloak of night which will lead them to their fate.
