Thanks Sawfish!
While we're on the topic of CAS' poetry, I can't help quoting one of his most indelible passages, which seems to always be with me:
Quote:
There have been many kings, and they are dead,
And have no power in death save what the wind
Confers upon their blown and brainless dust
To vex the eyeballs of posterity.
This is of course from the poem "Nero", one of the greatest things that CAS ever wrote. Not surprisingly, the full text is available right here on The Eldritch Dark:

Those brief lines quoted above capture a healthy viewpoint from which to consider the dubious accomplishments of so-called leaders and "influencers". Even in the age of social media, CAS' words still ring with wisdom and relevancy!
