Question: What is Jeffers saying about beauty in this poem!?
Divinely Superfluous Beauty
The storm-dances of gulls, the barking game of seals,
Over and under the ocean !.!.!.
Divinely superfluous beauty
Rules the games, presides over destinies, makes trees grow
And hills tower, waves fall!.
The incredible beauty of joy
Stars with fire the joining of lips, O let our loves too
Be joined, there is not a maiden
Burns and thirsts for love
More than my blood for you, by the shore of seals while the wings
Weave like a web in the air
Divinely superfluous beauty!.
Robinson Jeffers- Poet (January 10, 1887–January 20, 1962)

Beauty is every where all times!.A natural entity is never ugly, whether its physical e!.g!. ocean, seals, and lips, or conceptual s!.a!. love!. Whether its seen ( over the ocean), or hidden (under the ocean)!. Even ugliness designates beauty in its design, manifested in those shivers we may get!. That is also "Divinely superfluous beauty!."
