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
Pythian he came; repressed beneath his heel The hydra of the world with bruisèd head. Vainly, since Fate's immeasurable wheel Could parley with a straw. A weakling sped The bullet when to custom's usual night We fell because a woman's faith was light.
