Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 27, 1938

“O dream of solitude, visionary flame,

Make the lone deeps of my heart thy home...”

“Visionary” O.K.?

No, it isn’t very complimentary, means usually an unpractical fellow who has unreal “visionary” ideas.

“Travelling through hollow spaces of day and night Towards its rich fruition in the Sublime...”

Fruition! would fructify in prose.

The last two stanzas are logical tails, I hope.

The last three hairs of the tail needed a little combing and brushing.
