Poems
This volume consists of all poems in English including sonnets, lyrical poems, narrative poems, and metrical experiments in various forms. All such poems published by Sri Aurobindo during his lifetime are included here, as well as poems found among his manuscripts after his passing. Sri Aurobindo worked on these poems over the course of seven decades. The first one was published in 1883 when he was ten; a number of poems were written or revised more than sixty years later, in the late 1940s.
THEME/S

All here is Spirit self-moved eternally For Matter is its seeming or its form, A finite motion of Infinity Built up by energy's electric storm,
A flux of solid instability Whirled into shape by a tremendous Force That labours out the world's fabric endlessly, Creates and then destroys without remorse
Titan and worm, the dew-drop and the sea, Our fragile bodies like the aeoned star, But through it all remains immortally The secret spirit we for ever are.
Matter is Spirit's semblance glamorous Self-woven for its own field and robe and house.
