Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

July 2, 1936

I am sending you Tansies’. Before sending I opened it at random and found this –

“I can’t stand Willy Wet-leg

Can’t stand him at any price.

He’s resigned and when you hit him

He lets you hit him twice.”

Well, well, this is the bare, rockily direct poetry? God help us!

P.S. I think Dara could do the companion of that in his lighter moments! This is the sort of thing to which theories lead a man of genius.
