Smith - Satyr Gargoyle — Description
The Maker of Gargoyles by CAS tells a story of a craftsman who captured his own wretched emotions in his sculptures. The sculptures would then come to life and acted based on the instinct derived from his malicious intents.

The Satyr-like gargoyle represented his creator's suppressed and unfulfilled lust for a woman that rejected him.

"Its companion was a horned satyr, with the vans of some great bat such as might roam the nether caverns, with sharp, clenching talons, and a look of Satanically brooding lust, as if it were gloating above the helpless object of its unclean desire."

Clark Ashton Smith, The Maker Of Gargoyles
