Sri Aurobindo

Collected Poems

SABCL - Volume 5

I. Short Poems
1890-1900

Goethe

A perfect face amid barbarian faces,

A perfect voice of sweet and serious rhyme,

Traveller with calm, inimitable paces,

Critic with judgment absolute to all time,

A complete strength when men were maimed and weak,

German obscured the spirit of a Greek.
