Why NOT "A screaming comes across the sky"?

Gene Wolfe is a fine writer. You probably read The
Book of the New Sun, which is his best work. Imagine
Kipling, Kafka, Borges & Nabokov writing a science
fantasy (don't the words just make you cringe? Bear
with me here...) while undergoing a conversion to
Catholicism, and you'll get the gist of it. Not that
he's their equal, but you'll see what he seems to be
aiming for. It's currently published in 2 volumes,
Shadow & Claw and Sword & Citadel.

I used to be a Wolf fan, I can't remember which I
read... back in the
ol' fantasy reading days... one of his trilogies, I
think, the first
called Sword & Claw if I remember correctly. He did
it right.
