Souvenance

Read "Souvenance" at The Eldritch Dark:

The French title of this poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) can be translated as "Recollection" or "Remembrance".  That theme is evident in its two short stanzas, which each treat a separate aspect of the remembered beloved's person.  I like the combination of visual and olfactory elements, even if it's a somewhat slight poem.
