On Poetry
THEME/S
Why this indignity that from the brave
Height of soul-lustre into a broken grave
Man's yearning flesh should drop and all his drouth
Of planet-passion kiss the worm's cold mouth?
What treasure yet unknown draws down his mood,
Whose heart is fashioned for infinitude?
Surely some God-abyss calls out to him! ...
We die and all our winged senses dim
Because we have not dreamed the goal of birth,
The arcane eternity coring dull earth.
O omnipresent Light, break from below
As in the constellate seasons of our mind:
Rise up and flower in these cells of woe,
Flush the wan nerves, breathe your immense gold breath,
And make our limbs no longer grope to find
A heaven of quiet through world-weary death!
Sri Aurobindo's Comment
It is very fine. The thought is clear enough. Illumined Mind intuitive inspiration."
