Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 7945

Q: Or take these lines – from your early “Urvasie”:

But plunged o’er difficult gorge and prone ravine

And rivers thundering between dim walls,

Driven by immense desire, until he came

To dreadful silence of the peaks and trod

Regions as vast and lonely as his love.

A: This is also high-pitch effective except the last line which is in the inspired style – perhaps!
