Sri Aurobindo

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.

Evolution - I

Know more >

I passed into a lucent still abode
    And saw as in a mirror crystalline
    An ancient Force ascending serpentine
The unhasting spirals of the aeonic road.
Earth was a cradle for the arriving god
    And man but a half-dark half-luminous sign
    Of the transition of the veiled Divine
From Matter's sleep and the tormented load

Of ignorant life and death to the Spirit's light.
    Mind liberated swam Light's ocean vast,
        And life escaped from its grey tortured line;
I saw Matter illumining its parent Night.
    The soul could feel into infinity cast
        Timeless God-bliss the heart incarnadine.
