Jeffers points the way for us, out of the quagmire. We are not to despise
the mess we are, but to hear in its anguish the same clear voice that we
hear in nature. Nature does not despair, she cleanses herself. Her
cleansing is an act of beauty and an adding of value (bladed green for
brown), and her result is beauty, too, a place restored to love. And we
are nature. The challenge that Jeffers set us is to be present utterly,
"to listen" to our creations, our disasters, and ourselves.
