Poetry Quote by Robinson Jeffers — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You have perhaps heard some false reports”

“The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in me”

“I've changed my ways a little, I cannot now”

“What is this thing called life? I believe”

“I learned that ruling poor men's hands is nothing. Ruling men's money's a wedge in the world. But after I'd split it open a crack I looked in and saw the trick inside it, the filthy nothing, the fooled and rotten faces of rich and successful men.”

“No matter how you feel you have to act”

“You have dirty hands and dark wild eyes, but by far you are the purest heart I have ever known.”

“I miss you, mourn for you, and walk the streets alone- often at night, beside, I fall asleep in tears, for your dear face, yet not one word comes back to me. If it is finished, tell me, and I will raise the lid to my box of Phantoms, and lay one more love in; but if it lives and beats still, still lives and beats for me, then say so, and I will strike the strings to one more strain of happiness before I die.”

“But often, in the world’s most crowded streets,”

“You darkness, that I come from,”

“I am not I; pity the tale of me.”
