tesseract --- WHITE DEATH by Clark Ashton Smith (From the Star-Treader and Other Poems) Methought the world was bound with final frost; The sun, made pallid as with fear and awe, Illumined yet the lands it could not thaw. Then on my road, with instant evening crossed, Death stood, and in its shadowy films enwound, Mine eyes forgot the light, until I came Where poured the insporate, unshadowed flame Of phantom suns in self-irradiance drowned. Death law revealed in all its dreariness: Immitigable wastes horizonless; Profundities that held nor bar nor veil; All hues wherewith the suns and worlds were dyed In light invariable nullified; All darkness rendered shelterless and pale. -(-)-(-)-(-) TEN THOUSAND YEARS FROM NOW by Raymond Van Houten Ten thousand years from now, What will humans be? Shriveled body and massive head, A helpless devil that must be fed By cold machines he fain would wed. Ten thousand years from now? Ten thousand years from now What will humans be? Will science, with deadening touch, With its atoms and forces and such, Drag down the human race that much, Ten thousand years from now? Oh mortals! Lo not curse your stars That you cannot reach red Mars. Better to have the power of limb, Than to be dependent on him Who is not human, and only served Because his patterns had the curves Of a metal avatar. SGAA RECEIVED DONATIONS The SFAA recently received donations from two generous members. Professor L.A. Ware (#56) donated a number of back issues of science fiction magazines to the SFAA library. James A. Corrick, Jr. (#16) donated mimeograph paper to TESSERACT.
