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

Know more >

Out of a seeming void and dark-winged sleep
    Of dim inconscient infinity
A Power arose from the insentient deep,
    A flame-whirl of magician Energy.

Some huge somnambulist Intelligence
    Devising without thought process and plan
Arrayed the burning stars' magnificence,
    The living bodies of beasts and the brain of man.

What stark Necessity or ordered Chance
    Became alive to know the cosmic whole?
What magic of numbers, what mechanic dance
    Developed consciousness, assumed a soul?

The darkness was the Omnipotent's abode,
Hood of omniscience, a blind mask of God.
