Gitanjali
Gitanjali | Rabindranath Tagore
I have carried the manuscript of these translations with me for days, reading it in railway trains, or on the top of omnibuses and in restaurants, and I have often had to close it lest some stranger would see how much it moved me. These lyrics-- which are in the original full of subtlety, of rhythm, of untranslatable delicacies of colour, of metrical invention-- display in their thought a world I have dreamed of all my live long. The work of a supreme culture, they yet appear as much the growth of the common soil as the grass and the rushes. A tradition, where poetry and religion are the same thing, has passed through the centuries, gathering from learned and unlearned metaphor and emotion, and carried back again to the multitude the thought of the scholar and of the noble. -W. B. Yeats

Written in 1913, but still resonates today. #Poetry

AkashPhoenix Read Tagore's Nationalism and his thoughts and ideas are still deeply thought provoking! 5y

‘Gitanjali‘ - No words needed to describe it. The book‘s name speaks for itself.

Even when I didn't connect with the poems, they were still some of the most lyrically beautiful poems I have read in quite awhile. I genuinely enjoyed reading these aloud to myself.

kishore_kk It's a masterpiece by #rabindranathtagore, though, I haven't read the complete book, I have read some of the poems which were part of our school syllabus. 7y
eri.reads **sigh** Ok, I guess I'm going to have to dust off this app and give it another try. Beautiful comment in your summary! 😉 7y

I am readings these poems for the #readharder poetry in translation category. They are quite beautiful and many are about Tagore being a #believer. #decdays
