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.

Moments

Know more >

If perfect moments on the peak of things,
    These tops of knowledge, greatness, ecstasy,
    Are only moments, this too enough might be.
I have put on the rapid flaming wings
Of souls whom the Ignorance black-robed Nature brings
    And the frail littleness of mortality
    Can bind not always. A high sovereignty
Makes them awhile creation's radiant kings.

These momentary upliftings of the soul
    Prepare the spirit's glorious permanence.
        The peace of God, a mighty transience,
Is now my spirit's boundless atmosphere.
    All parts are gathered into a timeless whole;
        All moments blaze in an eternal year.
