SRI AUROBINDO

Collected Poems

SHORT POEMS — 1890-1900

Epigram

If thou wouldst traverse Time with vagrant feet

Nor make the poles thy limit, fill not then

Thy wallet with the fancy's cloying sweet

Which is no stay to heaven-aspiring men,

But follow wisdom since alone the wise

Can walk through fire with unblinking eyes.
