His spirit was made a vessel of her force

Savitri: Book 2 Canto 14 Section 3 Part 2 His spirit was made a vessel of her force; Mute in the fathomless passion of his will He outstretched to her his folded hands of prayer. Then in a sovereign answer to his heart A gesture came as of worlds thrown away, And from her raiment’s lustrous mystery raised One arm half-parted the eternal veil. A light appeared still and imperishable. Attracted to the large and luminous depths Of the ravishing enigma of her eyes, He saw the mystic outline of a face. Overwhelmed by her implacable light and bliss, An atom of her illimitable self Mastered by the honey and lightning of her power, Tossed towards the shores of her ocean-ecstasy, Drunk with a deep golden spiritual wine, He cast from the rent stillness of his soul A cry of adoration and desire And the surrender of his boundless mind And the self-giving of his silent heart. He fell down at her feet unconscious, prone.
