Robinson Jeffers - Rock And HawkRobinson Jeffers - Rock And Hawk
Work rating: Medium


Here is a symbol in which Many high tragic thoughts Watch their own eyes. This gray rock, standing tall On the headland, where the seawind Lets no tree grow, Earthquake-proved, and signatured By ages of storms: on its peak A falcon has perched. I think here is your emblem To hang in the future sky; Not the cross, not the hive, But this; bright power, dark peace; Fierce consciousness joined with final Disinterestedness; Life with calm death; the falcon`s Realist eyes and act Married to the massive Mysticism of stone, Which failure cannot cast down Nor success make proud.
