From Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri; 1950 A giant dance of Shiva tore the past, There was a thunder as of worlds that fall; Earth was o'errun with fire and the roar of Death Clamouring to slay a world his hunger had made; There was a clamour as destruction's wings: The titans battle cry was in my ears, Alarm and rumor shook the amour'd night. I saw the Omnipotent's flaming pioneers Over the Heavenly verge which turns towards life Come crowding down the amber stairs of birth; Forerunners of a divine multitude Out of the paths of the morning star they came Into the little room of mortal life. I saw them cross the twilight of an age, The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn, The great creators with wide brows of calm, The massive barrier breakers of the world And wrestlers with destiny in her lists of will, The labourers in the quarries of the gods, The messengers of the incommunicable, The architechts of immortality. Into the fallen human sphere they came, Faces that wore the Immortal's glory still, Voices that communed still with the thoughts of God, Bodies made beautiful by the Spirit's light, Carrying the magic word, the mystic fire, Carrying the Dionysion cup of joy, Approaching eyes of a diviner man, Lips chanting an unknown anthem of the soul, Feet echoing in the corridors of Time, High Priests of wisdom, sweetness, might and bliss, Discoverers of beauty's sunlit ways And swimmers of Love's laughing fiery floods And dancers within rapture's golden doors, Their tread one day shall change the suffering of the Earth And justify the light on Nature's face.
