This haiku from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) captures a moment of viewing the constellations at night. The closing line "Spoke the turning Signs" suggests the deep resonances embodied in the anthropomorphic associations humans have assigned to each of the constellations, many associated with myths that inspired other poems from CAS' pen.
