Examples from Amal Kiran and Sri Aurobindo [4]
What about these lines?
Far-visaged wanderer, dost Thou rejoice
Straining towards the empty-hearted gloom
To kiss the cold lips of eternity?
Not with sage calm but thrilled vast hands I claim
The unfathomed dark which round my spirit lies –
And touch immortal rapturous loveliness!
All effective-illumined.
O star of creation pure and free,
Halo-moon of ecstasy unknown,
Storm-breath of the soul-change yet to be,
Ocean self enraptured and alone!
Can’t say.
Withdrawn in a lost attitude of prayer.
Illumined passing into the inspired.
24 September 1934
