About This Book

A collection of lyrical poems that use garden and domestic scenes to meditate on love, longing, and the passage of time. Voices range from servants asking to tend herbs to speakers awake at night listening for distant calls, lovers awaiting or recalling brief encounters, and birds as metaphors for freedom and confinement. Recurrent motifs - dusk and dawn, lamps and flowers, journeys and returned gifts - weave intimate reflection with sensory detail, blending everyday gestures and spiritual yearning into compact, musical pieces.

About the Author

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, playwright, and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in Indian literature. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, recognized for his profound and lyrical poetry, particularly in his acclaimed work "Gitanjali." Tagore's literary contributions span various genres, including poetry, short stories, and essays, reflecting his deep engagement with themes of spirituality, nationalism, and humanism. His plays, such as "Chitra," showcase his innovative approach to drama, while his essays, like "Nationalism," explore the complexities of identity and culture. Tagore's legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers around the world.
