Gitanjali
Good, to read Gitanjali.Better, to explore it.
Best, to live its truth.
Before Gitanjali won him world-renown, Tagore was not even a triumphant poet in Bengal, much less a victorious one. Such were then the teeming clouds over the firmament of Bengal.
Tagore became the conqueror,
The world became the possessor,
in a golden moment of one and the same year — 1913.
