[Sri Aurobindo and the Mother]

What’s this romantic nightingale doing here?

The nightingale perhaps came in answer to the need of a rhyme. However it can stay perched there provided it ceases to be white. It has no connection with the preceding lines, so the semi-colon must go.

We have no Camomille you have prescribed for Lalita. Shall we get it from the Pharmacy?

[Mother:] What they have there is generally old and badly kept. Perhaps we might try a light decoction of boldo instead. (She has pain 15 to 20 minutes after taking food.)
