Jeffers

Famous quotes containing the word jeffers:

    Truly men hate the truth; they’d liefer
    Meet a tiger on the road.
    Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying; but religion-
    Vendors and political men
    Pour from the barrel, new lies on the old,
    —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)

    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)
