Philosophy and Writings

The Future Poetry

The . . . articles that Sri Aurobindo contributed to Arya under the general caption, The Future Poetry, [were] initially inspired by a book of Dr. Cousins’s: in the fullness of time, however, the review became a treatise of over three hundred pages of Arya.

[Altered to:] . . . started initially with a review of a book of Dr. Cousins’s; but that was only a starting point for a treatise . . .

It was not the intention to make a long review of Cousins’ book, that was only a starting point; the rest was drawn from Sri Aurobindo’s own ideas and his already conceived view of art and life.
