The three sonnets are indeed very fine. I have not yet gone through the more careful reading of the long poem which I intended – perhaps on Sunday if I can get rid of a number of unanswered letters by then; otherwise –. But it is certain that in these sonnets you have entered into a deeper inspiration, and I am glad also that you are making a conscious use of your poetry for your sadhana.

I have ground out a stanza (the rhymes are however on a different model) for the metre, but I am trying to grind out another which will give the first some meaning and, as soon as the labour is done, I will send it.
