Show Notes

A reflection on an early poem of Sri Aurobindo.

It was written in Baroda in 1898-1902 in a notebook, which was subsequently seized by the British police when Sri Aurobindo was arrested in 1908. This made it impossible for him to revise or publish this poem after his release from jail in 1909.
