The Lost Temples of Xantoos

"The Lost Temples of Xantoos" by Howell Calhoun is a fantasy poem from the 1930s that explores the ruins of an ancient civilization on Mars. Through strong and descriptive language, the poem paints a picture of grand temples with huge columns and altars, and giant statues, all hinting at a powerful society that is now gone. The writing style makes you feel like you're really there, seeing the sad beauty of what's left behind and thinking about how time changes everything and what civilizations leave behind after they are gone.
