This is a tiny episode, recorded sometime ago when I was doing all the Duunsany material. It’s only about a minute long but it’s his take on the armies of ghosts which we covered in one of the previous books. I remember a Criamon magus putting on the cap of their leader.
Now for a weeping army of the remnant dead in less than a minute.
I believe it’s our second last reading by Thomas Copeland from LibriVox. Thanks to Thomas, Stats eventually.
The mist said unto the mist: “Let us go up into the Downs.” And the mist came up weeping.
And the mist went into the high places and the hollows.
And clumps of trees in the distance stood ghostly in the haze.
But I went to a prophet, one who loved the Downs, and I said to him: “Why does the mist come up weeping into the Downs when it goes into the high places and the hollows?”
And he answered: “The mist is the company of a multitude of souls who never saw the Downs, and now are dead. Therefore they come up weeping into the Downs, who are dead and never saw them.”
