About Robinson Jeffers

John Robinson Jeffers (10 January 1887 – 20 January 1962) was an American poet, whose poetry often presented monist perspectives, transcending personal and particular concerns of human beings, which he eventually labelled as stances of a naturalistic "inhumanism" that he believed was necessary to transcend and diminish many forms of social strife and corruption.

Additional quotes by Robinson Jeffers

I decided not to tell lies in verse. Not to feign any emotions that I did not feel.

As for me, I would rather be a worm in a wild apple than a son of man. But we are what we are, and we might remember not to hate any person, for all are vicious; And not to be astonished at any evil, all are deserved; And not to fear death; it is the only way to be cleansed.

Poetry is bound to concern itself chiefly with permanent aspects of life.

We don't know enough, we'll never know. Oh happy Homer, taking the stars and the Gods for granted. - Robinson Jeffers
