... he wrote to a friend of mine who had sent him a copy of Ilion: "I certainly am impressed by this masterly achievement in hexameters." On Savitri I may quote to you H.O. White of Trinity College, Dublin, who had to read the whole poem, nearly 24,000 lines, in order to examine a Ph.D. thesis on it from India: "I greatly appreciate the privilege of making the acquaintance of Savitri, a truly remarkable... have employed them cheaply. Here a reference to a correspondence between my friend Dilip Kumar Roy and AE and to some comments by Sri Aurobindo is likely to be of interest and profit. AE wrote from Dublin on 6.2.1932: "Dear Dilip Kumar Roy, Your letter has come at a time when I am too troubled in mind to write, as I would like, about the poems you send me. Yes, you have my permission to ...

Now modern writers invent new words: for "beautiful and lucid" they say "blucid". (Laughter) PURANI: That is fine. It can also mean ...
... called to the Irish Bar. Barrister Curran was fond of a form of humorous mystification. One day he appeared before the said judge Avonmore and addressed himself to a jury constituted of some ordinary Dublin shopkeepers whose knowledge of English was poor, not to speak of their acquaintance with Greek and Latin! This is how Barrister Curran began his address: (3)"I remember, gentlemen, I remember... great Greek historian upon the subject, which I shall take the liberty of quoting in the original, as no doubt it must be most familiar to all of you." And Curran was addressing himself to the Dublin shopkeepers! He continued: "It is to be found in the celebrated work of Hesiod, called the 'Phantasmagoria'.

... mother, to London. We stayed at Earls Court where two operations were done by Dr. Tubby. Later we stayed at Shepherd's Bush. Every scene is clear in my memory. Before returning to India we visited Dublin where my father took the degree of MRCP. Once during a visit to Phoenix Park it suddenly poured super-cats and super-dogs. A tall policeman gave me shelter under his cloak. It was the most thrilling ...

Yet the meaning is clear. 47 Example 2: An Irish doctor sent in ...
