Poems with Sri Aurobindo's Comments

  On Poetry


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."
