Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

October 5, 1935

To Mother and Sri Aurobindo,

Although you did not permit me,

(Perhaps my letter did not see?)

Yet cooked have I – eat, I prithee

For in love I’ve cooked I guarantee

Albeit there was (‘twixt you and me)

In it some dare-divinery.

But then you didn’t (did you?) foresee:

Through hush there is no holding me?

The dauntless Dilip when Yoga-free.

I read your letter but ironically forgot all about that part of it (the excellent part) so there was no answer. As for the preparation itself the acclamation that rose from the palate when it encountered the remarkable concoction was “Queer but good!”
