Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

August 8, 1936

The poem has been finished – at last. But it has grown irresistibly longish. I send you the first quarter today. Please finish it tonight. Tomorrow I will send you half or what remains. And the day after tomorrow the rest – so that it may be finished by you in three days all told.

You will please note the planning – and the change of rhythm. The rhythm changes following the change of mood of course. A new beauty has come into my rhythm I feel, what?

Yes.

It is very fine indeed both in expression and rhythm. I wait for the rest.

I send you two translations of Nishikanta’s, short ones.

Very good both of them.

Sorry, but I will let you have complete respite from poetry in three days. Please bear with our eagerness that you should read a little, of our lucubrations daily at least.
