Rock and Hawk

分类: 英语诗歌 
 by 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 the 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.
