Savitri

As from the soil sprang glory of branch and flower,
As from the animal’s life rose thinking man,
A new ephiphany appeared in her.
A mind of light, a life of rhythmic force,
A body instinct with hidden divinity
Prepared an image of the coming god;

(Savitri, Book 4, Canto 1)

Celestial –human deep warm slumberous fires
Woke in the long fringed glory of her eyes
Like altar –burnings in a mysteried Shrine.

Even in her childish movements could be felt
The nearness of a light still kept from earth,
Feelings that only eternity could share,
Thoughts natural and native to the gods.

(Savitri, Book 4, Canto 1)

A marvelous brooding twilight met the eyes
And a holy stillness held that voiceless space.

(Savitri, Book 7, Canto 5)
