Part Seven. Pondicherry
Incomplete Poems from Manuscripts, c. 1927 – 1947

God to thy greatness

God to thy greatness

Of utter sedateness

Has given a name

That fills it with light

Of His sovereign might.

He has lavished a flame

Of passionate fleetness

On thy stillness and sweetness.

His ecstasies seven,

O daughter of Heaven,

Have seized thy limbs

That were motionless¹ dreams.
