Sri Aurobindo

Translations

CWSA.- Volume 5

Part One. Translations from Sanskrit
Section Four. Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

Miscellaneous Verses

Noblesse Oblige

If some day by some chance God thought this good

And lilies were abolished from the earth,

Would yet the swan like fowls of baser birth

Scatter a stinking dunghill for his food?
