Sri Aurobindo
Collected Poems
CWSA.- Volume 2
Part Seven. Pondicherry, c. 1927 – 1947
Poems
Written as Metrical Experiments
In a flaming as of spaces
Curved like spires,
An epiphany of faces,
Long curled fires,
The illumined and tremendous
Masque drew near,
A God-pageant of the aeons
Vast, deep-hued,
And the thunder of its paeans
Wide-winged, nude,
In their harmony stupendous
Smote earth’s ear.
