September, 1934, THE FANTASY FAN 7 WITHIN THE CIRCLE by F. Lee Baldwin Forrest Ackerman says he really had that "surprise of one's life" when Linus Hogenmiller of Missouri, his first correspondent, unexpectedly dropped in on him in Los Angeles. A well known editor who has been recently collecting old Weird Tales had the good fortune of purchasing quite a few for two and a half cents a copy. Just imagine! C. L. Moore has had some of her own illustrations accepted by Weird Tales. A. Merritt calls his "The Metal Monster" his "best and worst" story. The youthful Robert Bloch of Milwaukee has sold his first story to Weird Tales. It is titled "The Secret of the Tomb." On his way North from Florida, H. P. Lovecraft stopt in Washinton D. C. and "did several things I had never done before" ...His "The Rats in the Walls" was first submitted to Argosy but was rejected as being too horrible...His "The Shunned House" is to be bound and issued by R. H. Barlow. The edition consists of about 225 copies and will appear some time in the fall. Two of H. P. Lovecraft's "Fungi from Yuggoth" ("Mirage" and "The Elder Pharos") have been set to music by Harold S. Farness of the Los An- PROSE PASTELS by Clark Ashton Smith IV. The Lotus and the Moon I stood with my beloved by the lotus pool, when the moon was round as the great ivory breast of a Titaness, and the flowers were full-blown and pale upon the water. And I said to my beloved: "I would that thou shouldst love me well tonight: for never again shall there be a night like this, with the meeting of thee and me by this pool with flowers blown but not overblown." But she demurred, and was perverse and loved me not as I would that she should love me. And after several nights we stood again by the lotus pool, when the moon was hollow as an aging breast, and the petals of the flowers had fallen apart on the water. And now my beloved was fain to love me well, and all was well between us. But in my heart I mourned for that other night, when the moon was round as the great ivory breast of a Titaness, and the flowers were full-blown and pale upon the water. gles Inst. of Musical Education A. Merritt is an authority on folklore and mythology and has made a study of ancient sorcery and witchcraft, past and modern. Forrest J. Ackerman often wonders what would happen to him if an earthquake came and splattered up the room where his collection is situated.
