Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar
April 10, 1934
I send you a poem. I didn’t send it yesterday because it was the day of our vengeance1 and who knows my little verse may have been the last straw... But since all people profit at your expense, it wouldn’t be wiser for me to stand aloof. So the poem and your kind opinion on it.
My opinion is “good, but not good enough” – more stuff is needed.
It is good you did not throw your straw on the waters yesterday – the flood might have carried it away into the beginning of next week.
1 Usually, nobody wrote letters to Sri Aurobindo on Sundays, but all took “vengeance” on Monday by sending double the quantity.
