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
On the grey street and the lagging winding waters One sees far off stealing away to meet the rich drooping purple of the sky A stillness falls,—a supernatural silence Lies on the lap of Nature.
The street man's life, and the waters earth's sky-dowry, And this rich span's unreal splendour, symbol hue, sign to sight of the Unseen; Man's life lies mute, the waters run to the splendour; The Unseen is this mighty Silence.
