On the Composition of the Poem. Letters of 1936 – 1937 [14]
Don’t you think it’s a pretty long time since you touched Savitri last? You wrote to me once that if those psychic and mental worlds could be captured, the rest would be smooth sailing. Can’t you put yourself in the right mood and have done with the obstacle for good and all?
It is not a question of mood at all but inability to take up any poetry till certain preoccupying things have been done.
