Perhaps you did not want to seek the sight Of that remembered rapture any more. But then at least you must have heard the shore Roar with reverberant voices thro' the night. Those stars were lit with longing of my own, And the ocean's moan was full of my own pain. Yet doubtless it was well for both of us You did not come, but left me there alone. I hardly ought to see you much again; And stars, we know, are often dangerous. The things that one grows tired ofO, be sure They are only foolish artificial things! Can a bird ever tire of having wings? And I, so long as life and sense endure, (Or brief be they!) shall nevermore inure My heart to the recurrence of the springs, Of the gray dawns, the gracious evenings

   Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback (John) Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) American poet and playwright, whose works combined themes from ancient tragedies, Old Testament, and the legend of Christ with dark views and absurdities of modern life. Jeffers called for a poetry of 'dangerous images' which would 'reclaim substance and sense, and psychological reality.' He believed that 'poetry is bound to concern itself chiefly with permanent aspects of life. "I have seen these ways of God: I know of no reason For fire and change and torture and the old returnings." In 1913 married a divorcee, Una Call Kuster, the former wife of a prominent Los Angeles attorney, and moved with her next year to Carmel, on the Monterey cost of California. He built there a stone house and an observation tower. In its shelter he examined the sweeping tides, the cliffs and clouds and mountains. Loyal to his surroundings, Jeffers focused in his poems on the coastal scenery. But what lies beyond the Pacific Ocean, did not interest him much - he read European writers, not Asian. Jeffers's breakthrough collection was TAMAR AND OTHER POEMS, which appeared in 1924. It was praised by T.S. Eliot and established his reputation. The subject of the narrative title poem was incest. It drew loosely on the biblical story of King David's daughter, and exhibited Jeffers's preoccupation with the themes of lust and man's destructiveself-obsession.

   Extractions: Robinson Jeffers and Narrative Poetry Lecture to Professor James L. Wortham's Class in Narrative Poetry given on May 22, 1949 by Lawrence Clark Powell Librarian of the University of California at Los Angeles (retired) [Lawrence Clark Powell is the author of the critical biography, Robinson 1934. Larry Powell is widely acknowledged as the "Dean Emeritus of Jeffers Studies." It is with his kind permission that this lecture is made available on the Tor House Foundation web page.] IT seems to me that things are looking up for poetry in the University of California, when a janitor in the University Press is awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in poetry, when the gardeners' staff has recently included a poet, and when the head librarian is invited to lecture on poetry. In all my dozen years at U.C.L.A. this is the first chance I have had to talk about my favorite subject, and to an audience which I am sure will not rush for the doors, when I confess that I prefer poetry to prose and that I rank poetry and music as man's most glorious achievements. And yet I am not a crusader for poetry. One either likes it or he doesn't.

   Extractions: The poetry of Robinson Jeffers shines with a diamond's brilliance when he depicts Nature's beauty and magnificence. His verse also flashes with a diamond's hardness when he portrays human pain and folly. Early acclaim (reflected in a Time magazine cover appearance on April 4, 1932 ) faded as Jeffers's work, spurred by the horrors of war and the despoliation of Nature, cast darkening visions. More recent positive scholarly appraisals and increased environmental consciousness have repositioned the avowed Pantheist to the top tier of 20th century American poets. The reticent Jeffers and his affable wife made friends in the area, explored the wild countryside, and, in 1919, bought land for a bluff top home site located just 50 yard from the ocean. Jeffers helped build their "Tor House" (named after the 'Tors' or rocky promontories of Dartmoor, England) from native stone . The dwelling featured a large fireplace and a cozy loft where Robinson, Una, and their twin sons, Garth and Donnan slept (a first-born daughter named Maeve died shortly after birth). Tor House had piped-in water, but no gas, electricity, or telephone. Between 1920 and 1925 Jeffers also constructed a courtyard and an adjacent four-story "Hawk Tower," topped by an open turret with expansive views. Within the tower walls he mortared pieces of lava, fossils, and other artifacts from around the world. Jeffers died at age 75, lying in bed at his Tor House. The poet experienced an epiphany while working with the granite boulders that formed his home. His wife Una witnessed "... a kind of awakening such as adolescents and religious converts are said to experience." According to biographer James Karman, "he felt the grave and earnest energy packed within stone, the calm that masks the spinning atomic structure...the infinite energy enflaming and interconnecting everything that existsfrom flowers on the foreland to stars in the distant sky..."

   Extractions: by Janice Albert Robinson Jeffers is frequently described as the quintessential California poet. Living for many years just south of Carmel, he set many of his long narratives at specific locations along the coast-Point Sur, Point Lobos and Pico Blanco. Yet, the poet Richard Eberhart says of Jeffers, "When you think of Jeffers you probably think of somebody quite different from yourself for almost nobody has as bleak a view of life as he." Born in 1885, young Robinson was given a thoroughly European education by his father, who kept him in schools abroad until he was fifteen. Well versed in classical languages, as well as French and German, Robin entered the University of Pittsburgh as a sophomore and graduated from Occidental College in southern California in 1905 at the age of 17. Robinson Jeffers: Hawk Tower, Carmel, CA He met a fellow student, a young woman, Una Kuster, then working on her Master's degree. Several years passed while they grew to love each other. When Una's husband found out how deep his wife's feelings were for the young man three years her junior, he sent Una abroad, to Ireland, where she was moderately happy, until she learned that her husband, in her absence, had filed for divorce. Una married Robinson Jeffers on August 2, 1913, the day after her husband's divorce became final. Filled with a love of Anglo-European culture, as well as desire for each other, the young couple discovered the land near Carmel when it was still wild and sand swept by annual Pacific Ocean storms. Here, between 1920 and 1925, the Jeffers' built their home, using a Celtic word to form its name, "Tor House" for the barren, rocky outcropping which anchored it.

    Extractions: Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) Contributing Editor: Arthur B. Coffin Many readers/critics feel that Jeffers's most readable poetry is in his lyric poems; others feel that his most powerful verse is in his long narrative poems, which, of course, cannot be anthologized. It is useful perhaps necessarytherefore to provide students a sense of the larger context in which the lyrics stand and to describe the evolution of Jeffers's personal philosophy, which he called "Inhumanism." Even students who respond readily to Jeffers's reverence for a distant God made manifest in the "beauty of things" (i.e., nature)and many of them embrace these views instantlywill ask, "Where's this guy coming from?" Consider some of the following suggestions. One may assign individual students or groups of students narrative poems to read and report on to the class, but, with the exception of "Roan Stallion," this is long and sometimes laborious work. And it is time-consuming in the classroom. The traditional approach of lecturing to provide the necessary context is the most efficient one. (As the bibliography indicates, there is a large body of scholarly work to draw on for this purpose.) Another possibly more appealing approach from the students' perspective is to introduce Jeffers's Not Man Apart (ed. David Brower, Sierra Club, San Francisco, 1965: Ballantine Books, New York, 1969), which, taking its title from a Jeffers line, is a collection of magnificent Ansel Adams photographs of the Big Sur landscape (accompanied by quotes from Jeffers), which has a central role in this poetry.

Add to a Notebook Robinson Jeffers Robinson Jeffers was born on January 10, 1887. His father, a professor of Old Testament Literature and Biblical History at Western Theology Seminary in Pittsburgh, supervised Jeffers's education, and Robinson began to learn Greek at the age of five. His early lessons were soon followed by travel in Europe, which included schooling at Zurich, Leipzig, and Geneva. When the family moved to California, Jeffers, at age sixteen, entered Occidental College as a junior. He graduated at eighteen. Jeffers immediately entered graduate school as a student of literature at the University of Southern California, where, in a class on Faust, he met another strong influence on his intellectual development: Una Call Kuster, who would later become his wife. In the spring of 1906, he was back in Switzerland studying philosophy, Old English, French literary history, Dante, Spanish romantic poetry, and the history of the Roman Empire. Returning to USC in September 1907, he was admitted to the medical school. The last of his formal education took place at the University of Washington, where he studied forestry. After marrying in 1913, Jeffers moved to Carmel, California, and in 1919 he began building a stone cottage on land overlooking Carmel Bay and facing Point Lobos. Near the cottage, Jeffers built a forty-foot stone tower. Both the structure and the location figure strongly in Jeffers's life and poetry. Jeffers verse, much of which was set in the Carmel/Big Sur region, celebrates the awesome beauty of coastal hills and ravines that plunged into the Pacific. With few exceptions, his poetry praises "the beauty of things" in this setting and emphasizes his belief that such splendor demands tragedy.

    Extractions: TOR HOUSE FOUNDATION During the summer of 1937, the Robinson Jeffers family, on a visit to Ireland, toured the burned-out remains of Moore Hall, the ancestral estate of the late poet George Moore. Una Jeffers wrote an account of that visit in her journal, and she later sent a copy to Moore's biographer, Joseph Hone. In his 1939 book, The Moores of Moore Hall , Hone quotes in its entirety Una's account; indeed, it is Una, not Hone, who writes the final pages of Hone's book. A passionate admirer of George Moore's work, Una must have been more than a little pleased to discover that she had had the last word in Hone's chronicle of this remarkable Irish family. In 1992-1993, Jean O'Brien, a Monterey bookseller, volunteered to catalog and evaluate the Jeffers' personal library, which had lain almost entirely untouched at Tor House since Robinson Jeffers' death in 1962. It didn't take long for Jean to discover that many of the Jeffers' books contain much more than what is promised by the covers; perhaps as many as half of the volumes in the Jeffers' library are augmented with clippings and marginalia which serve to embellish, elaborate, and at times, emend the published text. Here, too, Una Jeffers appears to have had the last word. Recognizing the importance of her discovery, Jean O'Brien approached me and suggested that I take a sabbatical leave from Monterey Peninsula College in order to make a record of the Jeffers' contributions to the now-rare and fragile volumes at Tor House. It seemed a pleasant enough way to spend a semester, and I readily fell in with Jean's plan.
