Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

February 23, 1936

I thought Darshan is over and whatever has to be seen, done, given, has been done! We are expecting a great Victory, and “very queer darshan” you say, Sir?

You arrange things in your own way! Things don’t work like that.

You spoke of some unpublished sonnets lying idle in your file? Can you not send a few, at least 2 or 3?

Not for circulation or publication just now.

Since I am writing sonnets, they would certainly help me.

Don’t think so – they are too irregular.

As there is no correspondence now, please send one or two poems from your old or new ones, if possible. Will you, Sir? Asking for the file would be too much, I suppose!

[Sri Aurobindo underlined “no correspondence”.]

What a rash statement!
