Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

March 21, 1938

I’m afraid “God” is coming too much in this poem.

Where is he?

Seen my scansion? Too great, perhaps?

Never heard of such scansion in a trochaic metre. Is it the new prosody?

Much too great.

Besides, what kind of grammar is “a myriad” with a singular noun?
