In the rotting timbers<br>And roofless platforms all the free companies<br>Of windy grasses have root and make seed; wild<br> buckwheat blooms in the fat<br>Weather-slacked lime from the bursted barrels.<br>Two duckhawks darting in the sky of their cliff-hung<br> nest are the voice of the headland.<br>Wine-hearted solitude, our mother the wilderness,<br>Men's failures are often as beautiful as men's<br> triumphs, but your returnings<br>Are even more precious than your first presence.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0">Submitted by Holt</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Robinson+Jeffers">Robinson Jeffers</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=508991" data-title="Bixby's Landing de Robinson Jeffers" data-description="They burned lime on the hill and dropped it down here in an iron car On a long cable; here the ships warped in And took their loads from the engine, the water is deep to the cliff.
