Sri Aurobindo wrote the following sonnet in his mid-twenties: "I have a hundred lives before me yet / To grasp thee in, O spirit ethereal, / Be sure I will with heart insatiate / Pursue thee like a hunter through them all. / Thou yet shalt turn back on the eternal way / And with awakened vision watch me come / Smiling a little at errors past, and lay / Thy eager hand in mine, its proper home. / Meanwhile made happy by thy happiness / I shall approach thee in things and people dear / And in thy spirit’s motions half-possess / Loving what thou hast loved, shall feel thee near, / Until I lay my hands on thee indeed / Somewhere among the stars, as ’twas decreed."
