Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 19, 1937

About Shivalingam, I’m sorry! I meant that I was not happy.

I supposed so.

I’m doubtful about this poem. One mind says very fine, another says damn! So?

Both are right – the damner because you didn’t quite get the proper expression, the other because the substance is very fine.

By the way, do you find plenty of repetitions in the ideas?

There are repetitions in the last few poems, variations on the same theme. Vedic, what? Variations fine, though!
