... SRI AUROBINDO: Amal also says that several of Thompson's poems are original and inspired. NIRODBARAN: Apropos of Madhusudan you seem to have written to Dilip that to be a great poet power is not enough. SRI AUROBINDO: It depends on the content of the power. The Subject Madhusudan deals with is poor in substance. I don't say he is not a great poet, but with his power of style, expression and rhythm... can call them great. NIRODBARAN: Now take the Bengali poet Govind Das, he says. His poem beginning, "I love you with your bone and flesh," is regarded as a great poem. It has much power but this is the only poem that is great in his works. The others are no good. Can we call him a great poet? SRI AUROBINDO: Oh! that Govind Das! I have read some of his poems. But, I don't think this poem is as great ...

You give as examples of ucchvāsa among other things Madhusudan's style, Tagore's poem to me, a passage from Gobinda Das.

Tagore's poem is written at a high pitch of feeling perfectly intelligible... intelligible to anyone who had passed through the exaltation of the Swadeshi days, but not more high pitched than certain things in Milton, Shelley, Swinburne.

... Sri Aurobindo was in this manner happily restored to his great cultural heritage, and never again would he be induced to lose it! He was thrilled by the poetry of Madhusudan, he was deeply stirred by the creations of Bankim. Of Madhusudan, Sri Aurobindo sang an anthem that is both a melodious dirge and a piece of critical appraisement: Poet, who first with skill inspired did teach Greatness... accompanied by Jatin and Barin, and there was some practice of rifle shooting on the lands of Hemachandra Das. It was about this time that Sri Aurobindo decided to establish six centres of revolutionary work in Bengal, and gave the oath of the Revolutionary Party to P. Mitter and Hemachandra Das. Holding a sword and the Gita in Page 62 their hands, they took the oath to strive to secure... that Bankim's writing was not Bengali! 14 After coming to India, Sri Aurobindo soon learnt enough by his own efforts and was able to appreciate the novels of Bankim Chandra and the poetry of Madhusudan. Indeed, Sri Aurobindo went further still, for in 1898 he engaged a teacher Page 49 — a young Bengali litterateur by name Dinendra Kumar Roy — perhaps as a companion more than as ...
