Read through this on a slow couple days at work and, yeah, I can see how Dunsany is something of an "author's author," who became beloved by a certain strain of writer. It's pleasantly soporific, induces a bit of a hypnotic trance, all elaborate sentence structure and evocative imagery while actively eschewing plot structure in the normal sense. It really is dreamlike, and you can see how a lot of genre literature that could be described as "fantastical" can trace its inspiration back to this through some route or another.
