Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

November 5, 1938

Please throw a glance over the names of the metaphysical poets – I couldn’t make out one name which I have underlined.

You seem to have got the names all right.

Have you really put 4 lines against

“Or a delicate tune out of the heart of a lyre

Borne by the magic air of eternity”?

I had missed them first, then I saw and stared and gulped – Really four?

The fourth line is a duplicate – it is really three.
