He became a major literary figure in the first half of the 20th century. When not building, Jefferson wrote epic, philosophical poems. He was interested in stonemasonry and did much of the work himself. Jeffers worked on Tor House for many years after he and his wife found their ideal site in the early 1900s. Take a tour, enjoy the ocean views and breathe in the atmosphere that inspired one of America’s greatest poets.
Today, this tranquil oceanfront property is preserved in its original state. Jeffers wrote his most famous works here, including an adaptation of Medea, which became a major Broadway play. Tor House was the home of American poet Robinson Jeffers and his family. My ghost you needn't look for it is probably Here, but a dark one, deep in the granite, not dancing on wind With the mad wings and the day moon.Be inspired by this fairytale stone cottage on the dramatic Carmel Big Sur coastline, built by one of America’s legendary poets. Come in the morning you will see white gulls Weaving a dance over blue water, the wane of the moon Their dance-companion, a ghost walking By daylight, but wider and whiter than any bird in the world. You will know it by the wild sea-fragrance of wind Though the ocean may have climbed or retired a little You will know it by the valley inland that our sun and our moon were born from Before the poles changed and Orion in December Evenings was strung in the throat of the valley like a lamp-lighted bridge. But if you should look in your idleness after ten thousand years: It is the granite knoll on the granite And lava tongue in the midst of the bay, by the mouth of the Carmel River-valley, these four will remain In the change of names. Look for foundations of sea-worn granite, my fingers had the art To make stone love stone, you will find some remnant.
If you should look for this place after a handful of lifetimes: Perhaps of my planted forest a few May stand yet, dark-leaved Australians or the coast cypress, haggard With storm-drift but fire and the axe are devils.
