Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

November 8, 1936

Guruji, I send you this incomplete masterpiece of mine. Such a one that I feel tempted to throw it head down, into – . Still, to be fair, the first 8 lines, I suppose, can stand on their feet. But the rest?

Yes. These are all right. Afterwards you seem to have haled down by the hair of the head some lines which don’t quite know where they are or what you are driving at. They have therefore not much life in them. Is there not a stop in the middle of the ninth line? If possible, after repairing the inspiration a little, you might start off from there again and produce a less abruptly evolved conclusion.
