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.

The Inconscient Creator

A face on the cold dire mountain peaks
    Grand and still; its lines white and austere
Match with the unmeasured snowy streaks
    Cutting heaven, implacable and sheer.

Above it a mountain of matted hair
    Aeon-coiled on that deathless and lone head
In its solitude huge of lifeless air
    Round, above illimitably spread.

A moon-ray on the forehead, blue and pale,
    Stretched afar its finger of chill light
Illumining emptiness. Stern and male
    Mask of peace indifferent in might!

Page 548

But out from some Infinite born now came
    Over giant snows and the still face
A quiver and colour of crimson flame,
    Fire-point in immensities of space.

Light-spear-tips revealed the mighty shape,
    Tore the secret veil of the heart's hold;
In that diamond heart the fires undrape,
    Living core, a brazier of gold.

This was the closed mute and burning source
    Whence were formed the worlds and their star-dance;
Life sprang, a self-rapt inconscient Force,
    Love, a blazing seed, from that flame-trance.
