Gitanjali : A Collection of Indian Poems by the Nobel Laureate
Posted on 2010-04-10

. & 8220;Gitanjali& 8221; is a collection of prose poems by Indian author Rabindranath Tagore. The Dover Thrift Edition contains an introductory note on the life of Tagore, who lived from 1861 to 1941. According to this note, Tagore, who wrote poetry in Bengali, translated & 8220;Gitanjali& 8221; himself into English. The Dover edition also contains a 1912 introduction by William Butler Yeats. This English version of & 8220;Gitanjali& 8221; is a series of prose poems that reflect on the interrelationships among the poet/speaker, the deity, and the world. Although Tagore had a Hindu background, the spirituality of this book is generally expressed in universal terms; I could imagine a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim, or an adherent of another tradition finding much in this book that would resonate with him or her. . The language in this book is often very beautiful. The imagery includes flowers, bird songs, clouds, the sun, etc.; one line about & 8220;the riotous excess of the grass& 8221; reminded me of Walt Whitman. Tagore& 8217;s language is sensuous and sometimes embraces paradox. Like Whitman and Emily Dickinson, he sometimes seems to be resisting traditional religion and prophetically looking towards a new spirituality. . A sample of Tagore& 8217;s style: & 8220;I surely know the hundred petals of a lotus will not remain closed for ever and the secret recess of its honey will be bared& 8221; (from section 98). As companion texts for this mystical volume I would recommend Jack Kerouac& 8217;s & 8220;The Scripture of the Golden Eternity& 8221; and Juan Mascaro& 8217;s translation of the Dhammapada. .
