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
Outspread a Wave burst, a Force leaped from the unseen, Vague, wide, some veiled Maker, masked Lighter of the Fire: With dire blows the Smith of the World Forged strength from hearts of the weak; Earth's hate the edge of the axe, Smitten by the gods, Hewn, felled, the Form crashed that touched heaven and its stars.
