    Pacific surge heavy with summer rolling southeast from a far origin
    Battered to foam among the stumps of granite below.

    Toil before sleep: It was an era of back-breaking work. Steinbeck used dynamite and toiled on the Madison Square Garden construction. Faulkner labored on Rowan Oak. Frost farmed by day and wrote at night. Robinson Jeffers hauled stones and built Tor House and the tower, then planted dozens of trees. — Carmel, California

    My ghost you needn’t look for; it is probably
    Here, but a dark one, deep in the granite, not dancing
    on wind
