Rock and Hawk
~robinson jeffers

Here is a symbol in which
Many high tragic thoughts
Watch their own eyes.

This gray rock, standing tall
On the headland, where seawind
Lets no tree grow,

Earthquake-proved, and signatured
by ages of storms: on its peak
A falcon has perched.

I think, here is your emblem
To hang in the future sky;
Not the cross, not the hive,

But this; bright power, dark peace;
Fierce consciousness joined with final
Disinterestedness;

Life with calm death; the falcon's
Realist eyes and act
married to the massive

Mysticism of stone,
Which failure cannot cast down
Nor success make proud.
