Pictures of Sri Aurobindo's poems
50+ paintings by Huta, inspired by Sri Aurobindo's poems
In March 1967 Huta began the work of expressing some of Sri Aurobindo's poems through paintings. Under the Mother's inspiration and guidance she selected certain verses from the poems and completed fifty-four paintings, which were all shown to the Mother in September of that year. This new book presents these paintings along with the lines which inspired them from some of Sri Aurobindo's most well-known poems

Songs to Myrtilla
In 1895 at Baroda Sri Aurobindo was given the work of teaching French for six hours in the week. In this year the first collection of his poems Songs to Myrtilla was published for private circulation.
Most of the poems written at Cambridge by Sri Aurobindo were published at Baroda in 1895 in his book Songs to Myrtilla.
The Life of Sri Aurobindo. A. B. Purani
MYRTILLA: Here the name of a girl. But usually it denotes the Goddess of Love - Aphrodite.
MYRTLE: An evergreen shrub (Myrtus) with beautiful and fragrant leaves.
Songs to Myrtilla
When earth is full of whispers, when
No daily voice is heard of men,
But higher audience brings
The footsteps of invisible things,
When o'er the glimmering tree-tops bowed
The night is leaning on a luminous cloud,
And always a melodious breeze
Sings secret in the weird and charmed trees,
Pleasant 'tis then heart-overawed to lie
Alone with that clear moonlight and that listening sky.
1890-92
