This poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) provided the title for one Roy Squires' letterpress editions of CAS' poetry published in 1976.
This work has an hallucinatory quality, seemingly inspired by musings on the shapes and the movements of clouds. Beyond the vivid imagery, it has a shapeless feel to it, lacking a central motif or idea, which is quite uncommon for CAS' work in verse. It feels very much like the result of a pleasant day spent lying in the grass and watching the clouds float by overhead!
