Jeffers, a rugged environmental pioneer, a poet who was a once widely known verily a "giant" in his time. He built Tor House and Hawk Tower. He fell out of favor after WWII and, although a foundation preserves Tor House and Hawk Tower. Unfortunately he is largely forgotten today except for a small circle of aficionados and the legacy he left behind.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
