Titan
In "Apology for Bad Dreams" ( http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=176413 ), Robinson Jeffers wrote:
"This coast crying out for tragedy like all beautiful places,
(The quiet ones ask for quieter suffering: but here the granite cliff the gaunt cypresses crown
Demands what victim? The dykes of red lava and black what Titan? The hills like pointed flames
Beyond Soberanes, the terrible peaks of the bare hills under the sun, what immolation?)"
What does he mean with Titan? Does it refer to a god in Greek mythology?
Please help me!
