Sri Aurobindo and Mother to Prithwi Singh

26 August 1934

*Mother and the Master,

I have translated your poem "To the Sea" being encouraged in my previous attempt which you said was good. If I have been able by your Grace to convey in what faint measure even may be possible in translation some of the subtle depths and grandeur of the original that is sufficient—even if it is a failure I do not regret the time spent over it because it helps me so much, by my living—though for a time only—in that profound atmosphere surcharged with an unspeakable strength of your realisation shining through the lines. I am sending the translation and should very much like to know how you like it, Master.⁸..*.

With deep devotion

Prithwi Singh

It is a very good translation indeed.

Sri Aurobindo
