"The Last Incantation" by Clark Ashton Smith
Susran: I can come up with a lot of possible pronunciations of this, but sadly, we have no hint from the author what he had in mind.
perdurable: enduring; imperishable
prelate: a bishop or other high ecclesiastical dignitary
fulvous: reddish or brownish yellow; tawny
crotali: A Turkish musical instrument, like the ancient cimbalom
meet, as in "is it meet": suitable. It appears to have had this usage until some time in the first half of the 20th century. I've certainly never heard it used this way until now. Weird.
coign: a projecting corner or angle of a wall or building
thurible: a censer. What's a censer? An incense burner. In the European sense, which is presumable here, typically made of metal, often gold or silver, typically used in religious ceremonies. An image search will make it instantly obvious if you still don't recognize what this is.
Lethe: In Greek mythology, one of the rivers of Hades, known as the River of Forgetfulness, as those who drank from it experienced complete memory loss.
innominable: incapable of being named
exigent: pressing; demanding
evanescent: soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing
immedicable: unable to be healed or treated
