On Poetry
THEME/S
There is no lack of love in Thee,
But, O sweet Splendour, bless
My proud heart with a penury
Of dedicated emptiness.
Thy blue and gold and silver light
Can never cease to drop,
For Thou hast generously made
All heaven a wide inverted cup.
'Tis we are shut in outward self
Nor deepen eyes to see
That dawn and vesper, noon and night
Are pouring Thy divinity.
Sri Aurobindo's Comment
"It is beautiful as well as simple and very felicitous in its suggestiveness."
To judge from the turn of the comment, one may guess the source of the lines to be jointly the psychic and the inner mind.
