[Sri Aurobindo and the Mother]
Yes, I also marked R.B.’s coloration. She was better in the morning, but her pain has increased. I can’t find out at all what sort of trouble it is. It has been with her for the last 7 years!
[Mother:] Have you seen if it is not a moving kidney?
Guru, I have come to the end of my tether. Blessed Wordsworth took all the worth out of my words. So I have kicked out every blessed remnant and sentiment, lakes and rills and years, I hope. How do you find it1 now?
It is a true রূপান্তর2, the Deformed Transformed – the whole poem is now exceedingly fine throughout. No need of lines; all would have to be double-lined.

2 rūpāntar: transformation.
