Re: Re: 01: Some aspects of Inspiration and Technique in the Poetry of Savitri

..the stars marched on their long sentinel routes
Pointing their spears through the infinitudes…
These lines carry the breath of infinite interstellar spaces and beyond. Permit me to recall the whole passage here!
I wit'|nessed the| vir'gin| bri'dals| of the dawn'|
Behind'| the glow'|ing cur'|tains of| the sky'|
Or vy'|ing in joy'| with the| bright' morn'|ing's steps'|
I paced'| along'| the slumb'|erous coasts'| of morn',|
Or the| gold' des'|ert of| the sun'|light crossed'|
Travers'|ing great'| wastes' of| splend'our| and of fire',|
Or met'| the moon'| glid'ing| amazed'| through heaven'|
In the| uncert'|ain wide'|ness of| the night',|
Or the| stars' marched'| on their| long' sen'|tinel routes'|
Point'ing| their spears'| through the| infi'|nitudes',|
The day'| and dusk'| revealed'| to me'| hidden shapes';|
Fig'ures| have come'| to me| from sec'|ret shores'|
And happ'|y fa'|ces looked'| from ray'| and flame'.|
I have| heard' strange'| voi'ces| cross the eth'|er's waves',|
The cent'|aur's wiz'|ard song'| has thrilled'| my ear';|
I glimpsed'| the Ap'|saras bath'|ing in| the pools'|
And saw'| the wood'|-nymphs peer'|ing through| the leaves';|
The winds'| have shown'| to me'| their tramp'|ling lords',|
I have | beheld'| the prin'|ces of| the Sun'|
Burn'ing| in thous'|and-pill'|ared homes'| of light'.|
