"... the eye that watched before there was an ocean." - Robinson Jeffers



The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars,
          life is your child, but there is in me
Older and harder than life and more impartial,
          the eye that watched before there was an ocean.

     - Robinson Jeffers, from "Continent's End"
        Tamar and Other Poems (1924)
