Jeffers

Famous quotes containing the word jeffers:

    The future is ever a misted landscape, no man foreknows it, but at
    cyclical turns
    There is a change felt in the rhythm of events:
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Unmeasured power, incredible passion, enormous craft: no thought
    apparent but burns darkly
    Smothered with its own smoke in the human brain-vault: no thought
    outside; a certain measure in phenomena:
    The fountains of the boiling stars, the flowers on the foreland, the
    ever-returning roses of dawn.
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily
    thickening to empire,
    And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out,
    and the mass hardens,
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
