On the Composition of the Poem. Letters of 1931 – 1936 [5]

Will you be able after all to give quotations from Savitri?

Possibly — but in this world certitudes are few. Anyhow in the effort to quote I have succeeded in putting the first few hundred lines into something like a final form — which is a surprising progress and very gratifying to me — even if it brings no immediate satisfaction to you.
