Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

April 28, 1937

By the way, am I also going into the Amalian relapse? These blessed poems don’t seem to catch. I have now a positive distaste for writing.

I don’t see any relapse. Your Matra-brittas1 are always excellent, sonnets up to the mark – Perhaps you miss the glories of surrealism – the magnificent images and smiting lines? Anyhow you have gained in harmony and finish. Perhaps when you magnify and smite again, it will be in a more perfect way.

A spree will improve matters?

Spree, sir, spree! what do you mean?

P’s operation tomorrow at 9.30 a.m. Please circulate some Force!

P in order to facilitate matters for tomorrow, has started menses today. What cheer, brothers? In view of the fact that anaesthetic may be necessary it might be safer to postpone for two or three days – what?

Tomorrow’s list of people for vaccination: Krishnayya, Premanand, Nishikanta ...

Krishnayya? not an unhealthy subject? won’t bite? Besides D.R. badly off for workers. Leave it to you, sir.

K has swelling of left ankle (old injury).

Why revived? She is talking of bone injury etc.

Amrita was to have offered himself as a victim on the altar of vaccination, but he has been kindly bitten by the dog of the Privy Councillor, so although there is no hydrophobic danger, it is better for him to cure before being bitten by the vaccinator.

 

1 A type of metre and rhythm.
