Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Selected Poems
The poems of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) are among the most haunting and tender in Indian and in world literature, expressing a profound and passionate human yearning. His ceaselessly inventive works deal with such subjects as the interplay between God and the world, the eternal and transient, and with the paradox of an endlessly changing universe that is in tune with unchanging harmonies. Poems such as 'Earth' and 'In the Eyes of a Peacock' present a picture of natural processes unaffected by human concerns, while others, as in 'Recovery - 14', convey the poet's bewilderment about his place in the world. And exuberant works such as 'New Rain' and 'Grandfather's Holiday' describe Tagore's sheer joy at the glories of nature or simply in watching a grandchild play.

Posebnom lepotom zrače ljubavni stihovi: nenametljivi, puni poštovanja i obzira prema vrhuncu stvaralačke moći koju je Bog pokazao: ženi. Ali nikako ne treba misliti da je za njega žena apstrakcija, platonska ljubav, biće nedodirljivo, naprotiv. Ona je slika čulnosti ali opisane delikatno, sa poštovanjem,
Books of poetry are never really finished. You finish your initial reading, yes, close it for the first time, certainly, but when you return to it, it will meet you as the person you have become since yesterday. Tagore reminded me of this and I know that when I slip this book back on the shelf at home, it will only be a temporary farewell until the time I am ready to read the same words with a different mind. As my time in India draws to a close, only six days remaining, I am glad that I had the

I'm glad I read Gitanjali first, because even though I loved a few of these poems, they wouldn't have inspired me to read more Tagore. There's a lot of cultural knowledge needed to be able to understand most of these.
Great poet, wonderful poems...
poems in the vein or Rumi and Hafiz, subtly political. lyrical.
