In his ‘Song Offerings to the
Creator’, Rabindranath Tagore uses modernized images from classical
Indian love poetry to symbolize his yearning to merge with God. The
mud-stained traveller, the parched summer earth, the bride awaiting the
return of her lord, the first monsoon shower, the flowers, the rivers
and the conch are images which gain a mystical depth in these poems.
Included in this edition is WB Yeat’s introduction to the first edition of Tagore’s English rendering of Gitanjali.
Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
