Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

January 23, 1937

I don’t dislike “very fine” poetry. Anything short of that is not pleasant. And certainly I plump for exceedingly fine, not at once, but gradually. You can’t object to that surely?

Rather exacting to demand that everything written shall be very fine.

In A’s case, I’m suspecting T.B. of the intestine. But you know very little can be done, if it is that. After D.L.’s death, he has become such a hypochondriac. I don’t know if we should take an X-ray of his intestine for any T.B. focus.

An examination and suggestion of T.B. would probably finish what little morale he has. To discover it is also not very useful since you say that little = nothing can be done.
