Continent's End -- Jeffers
This poem contains much about the sublime. Every word that Jeffers writes is about the power and magnificence of nature. Also, in this poem is the idea of the poet as God, which is another common theme in Jeffers' poems. Jeffers' language is very different from of both Stevens and Williams. He uses verbs such as "veiled" and "wreathed" and "gazing" etc. which are all to do with the idea of the sublime in nature.
