as we resign ourselves to our rulers' imperial delusions and hurtle down the road to yet another war. Yet it is useless to despair, [Robinson] Jeffers counsels:
Life is good, be it stubbornly long or suddenly
A mortal splendor: meteors are not needed less than mountains:
shine, perishing republic.
This slide into the abyss is as natural as life itself, which can only end in death.
from The American Conservative: Robinson Jeffers: Peace Poet
