SRI AUROBINDO
Translations
from Sanskrit and Other Languages
Kalidasa
Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
Miscellaneous Verses
Insulted, wronged, oppressed the unshaken mind,
Treasuring its strength, insurgent its high will,
Towers always, though beat fiercely down to hell.
The torch is to the inglorious soil declined,
Its flame burns upward and unconquered still.
