Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

April 1, 1936

I have worked today from 1-30 to 6-15 p.m. – 5 hours! – and composed only 16 lines!

But that is quite magnificent – 16 lines in one day, 3.5 lines an hour about! Remember that Virgil used only to write 9 lines a day. At this rate you will end by being twice as inspired and fluent as Virgil.

Saurin has hurt his thumb in the train and it seems to be in a bad condition. Go and see and give the necessary treatment.
