Dispatches from a Doomed Land
CAS on Robert E. Howard

I thought the last issue of W.T. rather punk, apart from the verses and one or two fine passages in Howard's tale. I couldn't stomach this last as a whole that bloody battle stuff is so stale that it gives me what Sterling called "the Molossian pip." [REH, BOTD in 1906.]

The Poet in A Barroom

Faces of the four seasons
Throng the bar:
One peers from a time-lost star.
