A 1933 Edward Weston Photo of Jeffers from the Oxy Jeffers Collection

"Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated 
challengers of oblivion...
The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly; 
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems."
                           
- Robinson Jeffers, "To the Stone-Cutters"
