Robinson Jeffers, the Man and the Artist (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Robinson Jeffers, the Man and the ArtistIt is a sonnet at once modern in manner and highly individual in character, obviously the work of a stern and dissective soul, burdened with few illusions; or none. It is by our west ern genius, Robinson Jeffers.It is, a perilous business the attempt to ap praise genius. Genius, wrote Whistler, happens. No prince can command it. N o hovel is safe from it. The term, too, is grossly misused, and we have come to the practice of calling any person of uncommon talent a genius.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
