Nox Oculis John Robinson Jeffers Poète américain et dramaturge. De 1914 jusqu'à sa mort, il habita Big Sur, une région rocheuse de la Côte californienne, trouvant son inspiration dans sa rude beauté. Pour Jeffers, le monde, vu sous l'angle panthésiste, était souillé seulement par l'homme, un animal contrarié et condamné. Il utilisa fréquemment le Vieux Testament, la légende du Christ, ainsi que les mythes grecs afin d'illustrer l'esprit torturé de l'humanité, son instrospection maladive, les absurdités de la vie moderne, et son aliénation de la nature. La poésie de Jeffers est intense et virile, riche en puissance élémentaire. Né à Pittsburgh (Pennsylvanie) le 10 janvier 1887. Son père, un professeur de littérature biblique et testimentaire au Western Theology Seminary à Pittsburgh, supervisa l'éducation du jeune Jeffers. C'est ainsi que ce dernier commença à apprendre le grec à l'âge de 5 ans. Le latin et la doctrine presbytérienne suivirent. Ses premières leçons furent rapidement succédées de voyages en Europe, où il étudia dans des écoles de Zurich, Leipzig, et Genève. Quand sa famille déménagea en Californie, Jeffers, à l'âge de 16 ans, entra au Occidental College. Il y gradua en 1905, à l'âge de 18 ans. En 1903, la famille quitta Pittsbugh pour les paysages ensoleillés de Pasadena, en raison de la santé défaillante du père de Jeffers. Le jeune Jeffers fit ses études de littérature à l'Université de Californie du Sud (USC), où il fit la connaissance d'Una Call Kuster, qui devait devenir plus tard son épouse. En 1906, il retournait en Suisse pour y étudier le vieil anglais, la philosophie, l'histoire littéraire française, Dante, la poésie romantique espagnole, et l'histoire de l'empire romain. Toutefois, il revint au USC en septembre 1907, où il fut admis à l'école de médecine. En 1910, n'ayant pas complété ses études de médecine, Jeffers entra à l'Université de Washington à Seattle pendant un an pour y étudier la foresterie.

My influences included William Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy. (John) Robinson Jeffers, (1887-1962), Poet, writer; born in Pittsburgh, Pa. He attended six colleges and universities in Europe and America, studying medicine and forestry among other subjects. He began writing in 1912, and, from 1924 on, lived in seclusion by the ocean near Carmel, Calif., where he built his own stone house. He is known for his mythical lyrics and narrative poems, as in Roan Stallion Tamar , and Other Poems (1925), most of which promoted his pessimistic view of humanity in the larger scheme of an impersonal cosmos. - Paraphrased from "Robinson Jeffers" by L.C. Powell (1940)

84. Robinson Jeffers Poetry On Wilderness The Answer, by robinson jeffers 18871962. Then what is the answer? Love that, not man apart from that robinson jeffers, copyright 1938. http://www.oregonphotos.com/Jeffers.html

"The Answer," by Robinson Jeffers 1887-1962 "Then what is the answer? -Not to be deluded by dreams. To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence, and their tyrants come, many times before. When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose the least ugly faction; these evils are essential. To keep one's own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted and not wish for evil; and not be duped by dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will not be fulfilled. To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand Is an ugly thing, and man disserved from the earth and stars and his history.... Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness, the greatest beauty is Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe. Love that, not man apart from that....." All quotations permission of Stanford University Press, September 6, 2000. Images taken Summer, 2000 in old mining camps in Eastern Oregon.

home Thomas Gray William Collins William Wordsworth (Surprised by Joy) ... Richard Wilbur sonnet God was a hawk in the glow of the morning, a bee in the rose that has stars for her petals, The far lights felt him, the first-born lamps Spun from the brush of his wings when he bathed in the splendor of a firmament men's eyes never imagined, Exulting in the beauty of things, a free eagle. But love drew him dustward, for love's sake he stooped, like a lover came God with a garland of suns In his locks and the wild wine freedom on his lips To the earth and the arms of a Jewess, and to a house with a tribe of tame serpents in the handmaiden planet Of a least of the stars the descent of the lover.
