ANANDA

Rapture that cuts away time-transient shows

Like petals from the odour of a rose:

One breath of luminous all-absorbing hush—

So wide a love that nowhere need it rush:

Calm ether of an infinite embrace—

Beauty unblurred by limbs or longing face.

Sri Aurobindo's Comment

"Very beautiful. Higher and Illumined Minds rolled into each other with the Intuition to give an uplifting touch."
