| To the Daemon of Sublimity is an epic poem in miniature by master of the weird Clark Ashton Smith. Smith was not only a writer of some of the most fantastical tales ever rendered in the English language, he was a close friend and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft. Though the two never met in person, they shared many of the same themes of flight from the limitations of the modern, all too human, world. They approached these themes in their work from entirely different angles, however. Smith's poetry is crystalline, majestic, and vast in scope. Many of the ideas in his poems seem to bleed over into his prose work, which often takes on the shades of prose poetry itself. There is a prose work published by Night Shade Books in volume one of the five volume Collected Fantasies entitled entitled To the Daemon which carries the same thirst for ultimate escape into vaster than imaginable mysteries, though the poem has a more tragic essence.
