The Burden of the Suns

Read "The Burden of the Suns" at The Eldritch Dark:

This poem strikes me as an early exploration of the cosmic themes that Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) is known for.  Taken on its own merits, I'm not overly impressed by this poem, primarily because it seems something of an exercise in tackling themes that CAS encountered in the works of George Sterling.
