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
In gleam Konarak—Konarak of the Gods A woman sits, her body a glimmering ray. At her feet the moon trails its silvery dreams, On her head is the sun and the purple day.
Always she sits there turning a wheel Whose summit is lost in lights, its base in the abyss
Page 672
In the temple she sits of the wide white sun That burns unsetting in an immortal space beyond Time. Around her chant the world-poem the deathless Nine And the feet of the Fates dance out the rhyme.
