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
Why do thy lucid eyes survey, Estelle, their sisters in the milky way? The blue heavens cannot see Thy beauty nor the planets praise. Blindly they walk their old accustomed ways. Turn hither for felicity. My body's earth thy vernal power declares, My spirit is a heaven of thousand stars, And all these lights are thine and open doors on thee.
