Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo

The Complete Set

I send a poem. I wasn't happy about it; it has too much of Rabindranath in it, I think.

I fear your opinion of it is correct. Evidently you have the writing capacity, but it does not come to much – at least in poetry – unless you have something to write of your own. For that you must wake up something in you that is not yet awake.
