Poetry and prose from Auroville

(Nirodbaran:) “Then there is some standard?

(Sri Aurobindo:) What standard? Some say Sophocles is greater than Shakespeare. Others favour Euripides. Still others say Euripides is nowhere near Sophocles. How can one decide whether Dante is greater or Shakespeare?

(Purani:) It is better to ask what the criterion of great poetry is.

(Nirodbaran:) All right. What is the criterion?

Is there any criterion?

Then how to judge?

One feels.”
