Savitri Book 2 Canto 14 - The World-Soul
In a far-shimmering background of Mind-Space A glowing mouth was seen, a luminous shaft; A recluse-gate it seemed, musing on joy, A veiled retreat and escape to mystery. ||75.2|| As if a message from the world’s deep soul, An intimation of lurking joy That flowed out from a cup of brooding bliss, There shimmered stealing out into the Mind A mute and quivering ecstasy of light, A passion and delicacy of roseate fire. ||75.5||
Along a road of a pure interior light, Alone between tremendous Presences, Under the watching eyes of nameless Gods, His soul passed on, a single conscious power... To the source of all things human and divine. ||77.15|| There he beheld in their mighty union’s poise The figure of the deathless Two-in-One, A single being in two bodies clasped, A diarchy of two united souls, Seated absorbed in deep creative joy; ||77.16|| Behind them in a morning dusk One stood Who brought them forth from the Unknowable. ||77.17||
His spirit was made a vessel of her force; Mute in the fathomless passion of his will He outstretched to her his folded hands of prayer. ||77.21||
He fell down at her feet unconscious, prone. ||77.26||
