The Carnivourus Tree

"The Carnivourus Tree"

Commissioned work from the poem: The Hashish-Eater by Clark Ashton Smith.

The scene:
(And the livid seed.....
of some black fruit a king in Saturn ate,which, cast upon his tinkling palace-floor,
took root between the burnished flags,and now hath mounted,and become a hellish
tree,whose lithe and hairy branches,lined with mouths,net like a hundred ropes his
lurching throne, and strain at starting pillars.)
