Robinson Jeffers - Divinely Superfluous Beauty

The storm-dances of gulls, the barking game of seals,
Over and under the ocean ...
Divinely superfluous beauty
Rules the games, presides over destinies, makes trees grow
And hills tower, waves fall.
The incredible beauty of joy
Stars with fire the joining of lips, O let our loves too
Be joined, there is not a maiden
Burns and thirsts for love
More than my blood for you, by the shore of seals while the wings
Weave like a web in the air
Divinely superfluous beauty.

Poet: Robinson Jeffers Poem: Divinely Superfluous Beauty Poem of the Day: Jun 22 2007 Comment 1 of 1, added on October 11th, 2005 at 8:59 PM. This poem expresses a belief in a God of love and beauty. It is a very positive poem that says life is worth living. It was shown to me by someone when I was depressed and it was a light in the darkness of my depression. It sees the love of a man and woman as symbolic of the creation of a beautiful world. The world is something created by love and the lovers are an intrinsic part of the beauty of nature surrounding them.
