"A sonnet in Smith's usual semi-Petrarchan form (two quatrains and a split sestet) delivering a eulogy for a dead lover (or is it an apology for the love of death?), one of CAS's most common themes, but executed here with a degree of precision and intricacy that raises it above the merely conventional." - Robert Eldridge. Sidney-Fryer, Donald. Emperor of Dreams: a Clark Ashton Smith Bibliography, p. 45. Old folding creases, else fine. Provenance: Samuel Loveman papers. (#136303).
