The Infinite Quest

Read "The Infinite Quest" at The Eldritch Dark:

This poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) has a jauntier tone than is typical of his work, but doesn't stray far from his familiar cosmic vision.  There is a suggestion of reincarnation in "The Infinite Quest" that takes the cosmic vision one step further into the realm of the spiritual, but as ever CAS offers no capitulation to the orthodoxy of religion.
