Sri Aurobindo

Collected Poems

CWSA.- Volume 2

Part Seven. Pondicherry, c. 1927 – 1947
Poems Written as Metrical Experiments

In the ending of time

In the ending of time, in the sinking of space

What shall survive?

Hearts once alive,

Beauty and charm of a face?

Nay, these shall be safe in the breast of the One,

Man deified,

World-spirits wide,–

Nothing ends, all but began.
