Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume 1
Your poem is magnificent in energy and beauty. Only, comparing its flame-force with the moth-like fragility of the little piping love-piece that provoked it, this poor Annada might perhaps complain that you are guilty of crushing a butterfly with a thunderbolt. However, the complaints of the victim do not count in these cases; the gods probably hold that he ought to consider himself happy to be the occasion for so fine an outburst.
P.S. By the way is it true that there is an article by Tagore in one of the Bengali magazines in which he praises your poetry?
