Poems
This volume consists of all poems in English including sonnets, lyrical poems, narrative poems, and metrical experiments in various forms. All such poems published by Sri Aurobindo during his lifetime are included here, as well as poems found among his manuscripts after his passing. Sri Aurobindo worked on these poems over the course of seven decades. The first one was published in 1883 when he was ten; a number of poems were written or revised more than sixty years later, in the late 1940s.
THEME/S
Vast-winged the wind ran, violent, black-cowled the waves O'er-topped with fierce green eyes the deck, Huge heads upraised. Death-hunted, wound-weary, groaned like a whipped beast the ship, Shrank, cowered, sobbed, each blow like Fate's Despairing felt.
