More Quotes from Robinson Jeffers:
Why does insanity always twist the great answers Because only tormented persons want truth. Man is an animal like other animals, wants food and success and women, not truth. Only if the mind Tortured by some interior tension has despaired of happiness then it hates its life-cage and seeks further, And finds, if it is powerful enough. But instantly the private agony that made the search Muddles the finding. Then search for truth is foredoomed and frustrate Only stained fragments Until the mind has turned its love from itself and man, from parts to the whole.Robinson JEFFERS
To feel greatly, and understand greatly, and express greatly, the natural; Beauty, is the sole business of poetry. The rest's diversion those holy or noble sentiments, the intricate ideas, The love, lust, longing reasons, but not the reason.
