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
Soul, my soul, re-ascend over the edge of life,— Far, far out of the din burn into tranquil skies. Cross bright ranges of mind murmurless, visioned, white; Thoughts sail down as if ships carrying bales of light, Truth's form-robes by the Seers woven from spirit threads, From wide havens above luminous argosies, Gold-robed Wisdom's divine traffic and merchandise. But then pause not but go far beyond Space and Time Where thy natural home motionless vast and mute Waits thy tread; on a throne facing infinity Thought-nude, void of the world, one with the silence be. Sole, self-poised and unmoved thou shalt behold below Hierarchies and domains, godheads and potencies, Titans, demons and men each in his cosmic role: Midst all these in the live centre of forces spun, Fate there under thy feet turning the wheels of Time, The World Law thou shalt view mapped in its codes sublime, Yet thyself shalt remain ruleless, eternal, free.
