CARMEL HIGHLANDS, by JANET LEWIS Poet's Biography First Line: Below the gardens and the darkening pines Last Line: An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease. Alternate Author Name(s): Winters, Janet Lewis; Winters, Yvor, Mrs. Subject(s): Carmel, California | ||||||||
Below the gardens and the darkening pines The living water sinks among the stones, Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines. The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, And now the definite mountain-side disowns The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. Then white oblivion swallows all designs. But still the rich confusion of the sea, Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing, Rises through veils of silence past the trees; In restless repetition bound, yet free, Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CARMEL POINT by ROBINSON JEFFERS FAILED TRIBUTE TO THE STONEMASON OF TOR HOUSE, ROBINSON JEFFERS by JAMES TATE SPRING IN CARMEL by GEORGE STERLING CARMEL POINT by ROBINSON JEFFERS CARMEL POINT by MARGARET P.
