Ennui (In)

Clark Ashton Smith

In the alcove whose curtains are cloth-of-gold, and
whose pillars are fluted sapphire, reclines the
emperor Chan, on his couch of ebony set with opals
and rubies, and cushioned with the furs of unknown
and gorgeous beasts. With implacable and weary
gaze, from beneath unmoving lids that seem carven
of purple-veined onyx, he stares at the crystal
windows, giving upon the infinite fiery azures of a
tropic sky and sea. Oppressive as nightmare, a
formless nameless fatigue, heavier than any burden
the slaves of the mines must bear, lies forever at his
heart: all deliriums of Love and wine, the agonizing
ecstasy of drugs, even the deepest and the faintest
pulse of delight or pain—all are proven, all are futile,
for the outworn but insatiate emperor. Even for a new
grief, or a subtler pang than any felt before, he thinks,
lying on his bed of ebony, that he would give the
silver and vermilion of all his mines, with the crowded
caskets, the carcanets and crowns that lie in his most
immemorial treasure-vault, Vainly, with the verse of
the more inventive poets, the fanciful purple-
threaded fabrics of the subtlest looms, the unfamiliar
gems and minerals from the uttermost land, the pallid
leaves and blood-like petals of a rare and venomous
blossom—vainly, with all these, and many stranger
devices, wilder, more wonderful diversions, the
slaves and sultanas have sought to alleviate the iron
hours. One by one he has dismissed them with a
weary gesture. And now, in the silence of the heavily
curtained alcove, he lies alone, with the canker of
ennui at his heart, like the undying mordant worm at
the heart of the dead.
