He was educated at primary schools, first in Kilmany and then in Chirnside, and then following three years of preparatory schooling at Clifton Hall School near Edinburgh he was sent to Loretto School in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh. Although his parents were opposed to the idea, Clark started his racing in local road rally and hill climb events driving his own Sunbeam Talbot, and proved a fearsome competitor right from the start. On 1. 6 June 1. 95. DKW sonderklasse at Crimond, Scotland. By 1. 95. 8, Clark was driving for the local Border Reivers team, racing Jaguar. D types and Porsches in national events, and winning 1. Then on Boxing Day 1. Clark raced against the man who would launch him to superstardom. Driving a Lotus Elite, he finished second to Colin Chapman in a 1. GT race at Brands Hatch. 3 In 1. Lotus Elite, finishing tenth at Le Mans partnered with John Whitmore, and the ex Bruce Halford Lister Jaguar, winning the Boness Hill Climb. 4 Chapman was sufficiently impressed to give Clark a ride in one of his Formula Junior cars. In March 1. Formula Junior took place at Goodwood. The winner was J. Clark Lotus Ford, from J. Surtees Cooper B. M. C with T. Taylor Lotus Ford third. 5Clark had made an earlier FJ appearance in a one off race at Brands Hatch on Boxing Day, 1. Gemini B. M. C. for Graham Warner of the Chequered Flag garage, Chiswick. 6Clark and Lotus. Jim Clark in German GP 1. Jim Clark made his F1 Grand Prix debut, part way through the season, at the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort on 6 June 1. Lotus had lost Surtees, as he had gone to the Isle of Man to do some serious motorcycle racing, so they had Ireland, Stacey and Clark, the last named being an acceptable substitute. 7 He retired on lap 4. Early in his career in the 1. Belgian Grand Prix, his second ever Formula One race, at the extremely fast and dangerous Spa Francorchamps circuit, he got a taste of reality when there were two fatal accidents at that race Chris Bristow and Alan Stacey. Clark was later quoted as saying in a 1. I was driving scared stiff pretty much all through the race, even though he finished 5th and scored his first points finish. The next year, Jim Clark was involved in one of the worst accidents in the history of Formula 1 racing. In the 1. 96. 1 Italian Grand Prix on 1. September at Monza, Wolfgang von Trips in his Ferrari collided with Jim Clarks Lotus. Von Tripss car became airborne and crashed into a side barrier, fatally throwing von Trips out of the car and killing fifteen spectators. 8His first Drivers World Championship came driving the Lotus 2. Lotus its first Constructors World Championship. Clarks record of seven wins in a season would not be equalled until 1. Frenchman Alain Prost won seven races for Mc. Laren. The record would not be broken until Brazilian Ayrton Senna won eight races in the 1. Mc. Laren ironically, Sennas teammate that year was Prost who again equalled the old record by winning 7 races. However, Clarks record is favourable compared to Prost and Sennas as the 1. Clark a 7. 0 success rate, while 1. Prost a success rate of 4. Senna a 5. 0 winning ratio. In 1. 96. 3 he also competed in the Indianapolis 5. Parnelli Jones and won Rookie of the Year honours. The 1. 96. 3 Indy 5. Before the race United States Auto Club USAC officials had told the drivers that they would black flag any car that was seen to be leaking oil onto the track. Late in the race, Jones front engined roadster developed a crack in the oil tank and began to leak oil. With the track surface already being slippery this resulted in a number of cars spinning and led to popular driver Eddie Sachs crashing into the outside wall. USAC officials were set to black flag Jones after the Sachs crash until his car owner J. C. Agajanian ran down pit lane and somehow convinced them that the oil leak was below the level of a known crack and would not leak any further. Colin Chapman later accused USAC officials of being biased because Clark and Lotus were a British team with a rear engine car. Many, including journalist and author Brock Yates, believed that had it been an American driver and car in second place instead of Clark in the British built Lotus, officials would have black flagged Jones. Despite this neither Lotus or their engine supplier Ford protested the result, reasoning that winning as a result of a disqualification when Jones had led for 1. Clark led for 2. 8 laps and had set the lap record speed of 1. Jim Clark in the Lotus pit at the German GP 1. In 1. 96. 4 Clark came within just a few laps of retaining his World Championship crown, but just as in 1. John Surtees. Tyre failure damaging the Lotuss suspension put paid to that years attempt at the Indianapolis 5. He made amends and won the Championship again in 1. Indianapolis 5. 00 in the Lotus 3. He had to miss the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix in order to compete at Indianapolis, but made history by driving the first mid engined car to win at the fabled Brickyard, as well as becoming the only driver to date 2. Indy 5. 00 and the F1 title in the same year. Other drivers, including Graham Hill, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and Jacques Villeneuve have also won both crowns, but not in the same year. At the same time, Clark was competing in the Australasia based Tasman series, run for older F1 cars, and was series champion in 1. Lotus. He won fourteen races in all, a record for the series. This included winning the 1. Australian Grand Prix at the Sandown International Raceway in Melbourne where he defeated the Ferrari 2. T of Chris Amon by just 0. Australian Grand Prix. The 1. 96. 8 Tasman Series and Australian Grand Prix would prove to be his last major wins before his untimely death. According to Australian driver and regular Tasman Series driver Leo Geoghegan, during his time down under for the 1. Clark arrived at the Sydney home that Leo shared with his parents and his younger brother Ian Pete Geoghegan. Neither Leo, Pete or their father Tom were home at the time, however Mrs Geoghean Toms wife was. Not actually knowing who Clark was, Mrs Geoghegan thought that he was there to mow their lawns and told him that the mower was in the shed and he could start at any time. When the trio arrived home a short time later they were surprised to find a shirtless Clark casually mowing their front lawn. Clark outside the Lotus garage at the Nrburgring in 1. The FIA decreed from 1. Lotus were less competitive. Starting with a 2 litre Coventry Climax engine in the Lotus 3. Clark did not score points until the British Grand Prix and a third place at the following Dutch Grand Prix. From the Italian Grand Prix onwards Lotus used the highly complex BRM H1. Lotus 4. 3 car, with which Clark won the United States Grand Prix. He also picked up another second place at the Indianapolis 5. Graham Hill. During 1. Lotus and Clark used three completely different cars and engines. The Lotus 4. 3 performed poorly at the opening South African Grand Prix, so Clark used an old Lotus 3. Monaco Grand Prix, retiring with suspension failure. Lotus then began its fruitful association with Ford Cosworth. Their first car, the Lotus 4. F1 engine in history, the Ford Cosworth DFV, won its first race at the Dutch Grand Prix, driven by Clark. He won with it again at the British, United States and Mexican Grands Prix and, in January 1. South African Grand Prix. Jim Clark at the Nrburgring 1. Jim Clark won the 1. Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps in extremely wet, foggy and rainy conditions. After starting eighth on the grid Clark passed all of the cars in front of him, including early leader Graham Hill.

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul. I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, formd from this soil, this air. Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their. I, now thirty seven years old in perfect health begin. Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance. Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten. I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard. Nature without check with original energy. Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, the shelves are crowded with. I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it. The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the. It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it. I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked. I am mad for it to be in contact with me. The smoke of my own breath. Echoes, ripples, buzzd whispers, love root, silk thread, crotch and vine. My respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart, the passing. The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and. The sound of the belchd words of my voice loosd to the eddies of. A few light kisses, a few embraces, a reaching around of arms. The play of shine and shade on the trees as the supple boughs wag. The delight alone or in the rush of the streets, or along the fields. 1 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul. The feeling of health, the full noon trill, the song of me rising. Have you reckond a thousand acres much Have you practisd so long to learn to read Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poemsStop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of. You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, there are millions. You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through. You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me. You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self. I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the. But I do not talk of the beginning or the end. There was never any more inception than there is now. Nor any more youth or age than there is now. And will never be any more perfection than there is now. Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. Urge and urge and urge. Always the procreant urge of the world. Out of the dimness opposite equals advance, always substance and. Always a knit of identity, always distinction, always a breed of life. To elaborate is no avail, learnd and unlearnd feel that it is so. Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well. Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical. I and this mystery here we stand. Clear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul. Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen. Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. Showing the best and dividing it from the worst age vexes age. Knowing the perfect fitness and equanimity of things, while they. I am silent, and go bathe and admire myself. Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean. Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be. I am satisfied I see, dance, laugh, sing. As the hugging and loving bed fellow sleeps at my side through the night. Leaving me baskets coverd with white towels swelling the house with. Shall I postpone my acceptation and realization and scream at my eyes. That they turn from gazing after and down the road. And forthwith cipher and show me to a cent. Exactly the value of one and exactly the value of two, and which is ahead Trippers and askers surround me. People I meet, the effect upon me of my early life or the ward and. I live in, or the nation. The latest dates, discoveries, inventions, societies, authors old and new. My dinner, dress, associates, looks, compliments, dues. The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love. The sickness of one of my folks or of myself, or ill doing or loss. Battles, the horrors of fratricidal war, the fever of doubtful news. These come to me days and nights and go from me again. But they are not the Me myself. Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am. Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary. Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest. Looking with side curved head curious what will come next. Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it. Backward I see in my own days where I sweated through fog with. I have no mockings or arguments, I witness and wait. I believe in you my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you. And you must not be abased to the other. Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat. Not words, not music or rhyme I want, not custom or lecture, not. Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice. I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning. How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turnd over upon me. And parted the shirt from my bosom bone, and plunged your tongue. And reachd till you felt my beard, and reachd till you held my feet. Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass. And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own. And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own. And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women. And that a kelson of the creation is love. And limitless are leaves stiff or drooping in the fields. And brown ants in the little wells beneath them. And mossy scabs of the worm fence, heapd stones, elder, mullein and. A child said What is the grass How could I answer the child I do not know what it is any more than he. I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green. Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord. A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt. Bearing the owners name someway in the corners, that we may see. Whose Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation. Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic. And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow zones. Growing among black folks as among white. Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the same, I. And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves. Tenderly will I use you curling grass. It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men. It may be if I had known them I would have loved them. It may be you are from old people, or from offspring taken soon out. And here you are the mothers laps. This grass is very dark to be from the white heads of old mothers. Darker than the colorless beards of old men. Dark to come from under the faint red roofs of mouths. O I perceive after all so many uttering tongues. And I perceive they do not come from the roofs of mouths for nothing. I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young men and women. And the hints about old men and mothers, and the offspring taken. What do you think has become of the young and old men And what do you think has become of the women and children They are alive and well somewhere. The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the. And ceasd the moment life appeard. All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses. And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier. Has any one supposed it lucky to be born I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it. I pass death with the dying and birth with the new washd babe, and. And peruse manifold objects, no two alike and every one good. The earth good and the stars good, and their adjuncts all good. I am not an earth nor an adjunct of an earth. I am the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and. They do not know how immortal, but I know. Every kind for itself and its own, for me mine male and female. For me those that have been boys and that love women. For me the man that is proud and feels how it stings to be slighted. For me the sweet heart and the old maid, for me mothers and the. For me lips that have smiled, eyes that have shed tears. For me children and the begetters of children. Undrape you are not guilty to me, nor stale nor discarded. I see through the broadcloth and gingham whether or no. And am around, tenacious, acquisitive, tireless, and cannot be shaken away.
