Moore : Arthur Moore was one of the editors of the Statesman of Calcutta.
... 12 FEBRUARY 1940 PURANI: Viswanath brought a proposal from Arthur Moore. Moore said to him, "Why don't you bring out a Sri Aurobindo memorial Volume on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, just as they have done for Tagore and Gandhi?" Viswanath replied, "It needs plenty of money." To this, Moore said, "All right, I will offer Rs. 500." (Sri Aurobindo kept silent.) Various people... people will be asked to contribute. Perhaps Sircar will come in too. SRI AUROBINDO: Isn't Memorial meant for those who have gone away? Does Moore want me also to go away? (Laughter) PURANI: Well, we'll call it then an Anniversary Volume. NIRODBARAN: For Tagore it is all right, because he is on the point of going away. SRI AUROBINDO: He has been going away for the last twenty years. It is... CHAMPAKLAL: It doesn't matter much to Satyendra if the world is destroyed. SATYENDRA (smiling) : No, what is the use of repeating and repeating the same old thing? PURANI: To go back to the idea of Moore: there is another proposal by Nolini and me to make an anthology out of all your works. People who have read your books will select passages and from these a final selection will be made. SATYENDRA: ...
... publicist—after all he is only the editor of the Statesman —but even otherwise that is not the main consideration. By the way why have you transmogrified Moore into Jones ?—there was a Jones there but he has departed and yielded the place to Moore. As for this Paresh, he wants to be in the Ashram, it would appear ( yog ā shrame y ā b ā r ichchh ā 1 ), but I don't see how that can be... pronounce desirable or enviable as for instance the change that Moore implied must be adjudged. I see of course that life disgusts me far more than it ever did before—which we call vairāgya, but vairāgya of itself is not a "consummation devoutly to be wished," unless and until it leads to a positive realisation, let us say, of the kind Moore suggested. For without a higher compensation the falling off... of a marked progress in you on the 15th. Yes, you received something within which has yet fully to come out. August 17, 1933 I am afraid I don't see how I can see William Arthur Moore—how can I extend to him so extraordinary a privilege (since I see nobody) which I would not have conceded to Sarat Chatterji? You say Barin certifies him as a bhakta —but Barin's language is apt ...
... English verse. Moore defines "pure poetry" as "born of admiration of the only permanent world, the world of things": it is poetry containing no hint of subjectivity, poetry "unsicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought", as the greatest of the phanopoeists, Shakespeare, would have put it if he had had something to do not only with Othello, the Moor of Venice, but also with George, the Moore of London.... ideal a la Moore. A less arbitrary definition than his, so far as the content or substance is conerned, is A. E. Housman's. Housman does not insist that we should adopt one theme or another, nor does he put a ban on subjectivity. Rather, he inclines to believe that subjectivity is the essential content of poetry; but subjectivity does not mean for him any idea. There he is one with Moore and all the ...

By the way why have you transmogrified Moore into Jones?—there was a Jones there but he has departed and yielded the place to Moore. 17 August 1933 I pray for Sri Aurobindo's Darshan once more before I leave. I know that it is against the rule but I hope you won't mind relaxing... governed by a system elaborated in all details and it is only the disciples trained to this life who can conform to it. 16 September 1932 I am afraid I don't see how I can see William Arthur Moore—how can I extend to him so extraordinary a privilege (since I see nobody) which I would not have conceded to Sarat Chatterji?

... the heels of this telegram came one from Arthur Moore, editor of the Calcutta Daily, The Statesman: "Your message to Sir Stafford Cripps inaugurates the new era. Nothing can prevent it. I am glad that my eyes have seen this salvation coming." (April 1, 1942) By now negotiations had started between Cripps and the Congress leaders. Arthur Moore the very next day sent to his paper an editorial ...
... 1939 Talks with Sri Aurobindo 31 JANUARY 1939 NIRODBARAN: There is a tempting offer by the Calcutta Statesman. Arthur Moore writes to Dilip that he will pay Rs.100 per article if Sri Aurobindo writes in his paper on world events in the light of Yogic experience. SRI AUROBINDO (bursting into laughter) : In the light of Yogic experience! And what reply... suspicion was confirmed. In fact, it was more than a feeling, it was a concrete intuition. Later, I found he had become a notable figure in the Executive Council. I was much surprised. Arthur Moore is also suspected by some people of being a spy not an ordinary spy but a secret agent of the Government. But spy or not, he knows how to meditate. PURANI: How can he be a spy when he has supported ...

... sleep. The theme of the Fire-worshippers has attracted several English poets. In the hills of Persia they were known in Moslem times as Guebres or Gebirs, and Landor has a long poem on one of them. Moore has versified a story about a Fire-worshipper who was hounded by the fanatics of Allah, and in his poem are words that can apply not only to the Zarathustrian remnants in Persia but also to the Parsis... flame in Mithra's caves? No — she has sons that never, never Will stoop to be the Moslem's slaves, While heaven has light or earth has graves! Page 126 But, though Moore says that Iran's surviving sons will never sub-mit to the Moslems, he nowhere puts a bar to their Indianising themselves and surrendering to India's greatest spiritual figure and becoming devotees of ...
... Blake. When some of Blake's abnormalities were reported to him, he remarked: "The insanity of this man interests me far more than the sanity of Byron and Moore." The remark shows how much against Wordsworth's grain ran the slick sentimentalism of Moore and the crude power of Byron and how the central motif in his own writings was the feeling of universal mystery and the sense of profundities in the human ...
... several factors owing to which, whatever the prose achievements, there was no Irish poet of authentic first-rate power before Yeats came on the scene? In the pre-Yeatsian period, the peak was Thomas Moore with his Irish Melodies', but the peak was pretty far from the free airs of heaven. Touching as are those poems, they have little breath of magical articulation. They have a graceful diction, but... tastefully dressed-up commonplace and no true cadence of the soul of the language. Drawing-room ballads they are and no songs trembling with natural inevitable intensity of expression. If we remember Moore, it is mainly for the tunes to which his poems were prettily matched, not for any word and rhythm of intrinsic rarity. But be the pre-Yeatsian poetry what it may, the fact remains that a foreign ...

He says that in Rono's native Kenya, the living conditions demand a "realism, a clarity of judgment about such things as pain and effort, that is difficult for Westerners to share."

... poet. But take the actual poetry he has written: one can see how prosaic it is! EVENING SRI AUROBINDO: Moore has written an article against Gandhi, taking his stand on the Gita and on me. He says that if Gandhi considers himself an instrument of God and preaches non-participation, he, Moore, is also an instrument of God entitled to object to it. (Sri Aurobindo gave us the gist of the article.) ...

Then he wrote a book on the Ashram disparaging it and asked Arthur Moore to serialise it in The Statesman . Moore told him. he knew about the Ashram, for he had been here.

... Nazarene). The popular notion is that "Nazarene" comes from the description Page 18 "Jesus of Nazareth". Not that the etymology is quite at fault. Philologists like Albright, Moore and Schaeder vouch for its possibility. But actually there appears to have been no "city" such as Matthew (2:23) and Luke (1:26; 2:39; 4:29), writing in c. 80-100 A.D., speak of. Neither the Old Testament ...

I would like to have your comments on the poetic quality of these poems. There is an improvement, but the recurring fault is a diction that seems to be caught ...

The Fire-worshippers attracted several Romantic poets - Byron in Giaour, Moore in a part of L olla Rookh and Landor in Gebir. I shouldn't be surprised if Blake's preoccupation with "fires" had a Zoroastrian touch somewhere. Yes, the word I couldn't quite make out must ...

If Amery were strong and firm against the Simla attitude ...

I particularly have enjoyed your detailed readings of poems not only of Mallarme but of other poets - Yeats and Sturge Moore, you really see into poems in a way the academic critics, dissecting analysts, do not.

But during the poet's life it had burned enough — at the same time with love for The Light whose smile ...
