One of about 45 poems composed in French by Smith during the late 1920s, most of which, like the present one, are unpublished. This poem 'Paganism' , in three stanzas of rhyming tetrameter, portrays the dream country of pagan mythology. Smith taught himself French in order to translate from and compose in the language. - Robert Eldridge. Sidney-Fryer, Donald. Emperor of Dreams: a Clark Ashton Smith Bibliography, p. 106.
