Sri Aurobindo
All heaven's secrecy lit to one face
Crowning with calm the body's blinded cry—
A soul of upright splendour like the noon.
But only shadowless love can breathe this pure
Sun-blossom fragrant with eternity—
Eagles of rapture lifting flickerless
A golden trance wide-winged on golden air.
Sri Aurobindo's Comment
"It comes from the higher mind except for the fourth and eighth lines which have illumination and are very fine."
