Cid : Le Cid tragicomedy by Corneille, considered by many as the beginning of modern French drama. The probable date of its first performance is 1637.
... the CID man had been actually present on duty, I do not think he would have achieved much. The only thing he would have learnt would be that on that particular evening, Sri Aurobindo on coming out of the house had instead of returning home to College Square left for an unknown destination through the mazes Page 137 of a particular locality. It may be that if the Calcutta CID had... procession of four, apparently disjoined but linked together by subtle bonds, went along a northerly route. As long as Sri Aurobindo remained in that house it used to be watched by the men of the CID. Just a few days ago, simply in order to escape the attentions of the police officials, our séances of automatic writing had had to be removed from a room overlooking the lane to an inner apartment... of course had to yawn half a dozen times and rub their eyes and then roll down the stage. Whether in like manner the gods had on this occasion sent the goddess of drink to seize the throat of the CID man, or whether the man had gone somewhere for some fresh air or anything more solid I do not know.

By that time many Tamil r... shouting that he was a spy in the pay of the CID, a secret he could no longer keep to himself. Even then the young men thought that this was some kind of a joke and they started laughing. This upset Biren all the more and rushing out of the room he came back with some currency notes — Rs.100 or so — in his hand. This was the money he had received from the CID, he cried out, a proof of his connections... by the confession. Slowly the full story came out. Biren had indeed been recruited by the CID who had thus succeeded in planting a spy in Sri Aurobindo's own household. However, having come in contact with Sri Aurobindo and his companions, Biren realised his enormous mistake and he wanted to leave. But the CID insisted on replacing him by a substitute.

... reply except that the woman was insistent and I could not help it. She said: "Such a thing has never happened here all these years. This is the first time it occurred." Afterwards she phoned to the CID—Criminal Investigation Department. I was perilously close to tears, but managed to hold them back. The nauseating sensation of deep unease returned acutely as I went back to my room. Each second that... intense than ever. I knew that when everything in my life failed me I should bear in my mind that the Mother loved me and that love would save me from all evils. At about 11.30 a.m. a man from the CID came over and asked me several questions. I endeavoured to maintain my calm as I answered him, but my nerves were frazzled. Besides, I showed him my photograph with Aunt Margaret in which I had worn... Street. He must have visited the library at the British Museum—the greatest, oldest and finest library in the British Commonwealth. The lady in charge at the YWCA informed me that the man from the CID could not locate either the locket or the woman. She gave me the refund and wished me good luck. ...

"It is as though", writes Roy Harvey Pearce, "Odysseus, or Aeneas, or Beowulf, or Mio Cid, or even Dante, under the persona of Adam (in whose fall/we sinned all) had been compelled, out of some dark necessity, to write his own history, and in writing it, to make it." 51 The Cantos ...
