A poem by Sri Aurobindo
Someone leaping from the rocks Past me ran with wind-blown locks Like a startled bright surmise Visible to mortal eyes,— Just a cheek of frightened rose That with sudden beauty glows, Just a footstep like the wind And a hurried glance behind, And then nothing,—as a thought Escapes the mind ere it is caught. Someone of the heavenly rout From behind the veil ran out.

NOTES FROM EDITOR
Circa 1900-1906. A draft of this poem, entitled “The Vision”, is found in the manuscript notebook that contains “Uloupie” and other poems included in Part Two. This draft differs considerably from the version found in the typed manuscript of 1904-6, which was used as the basis of the text published in Ahana and Other Poems.
