"Please make me the gardener of your flower garden," asks a lover of his mistress. He calls himself a servant and his beloved queen. Dreams serve his days of inactivity. He wants to continue the path where the fresh green in the morning, he wants her feet greeted with praise at every step by the flowers.
And what he wants for his salary? He asks for permission, fists bit 'like lotus buds race continues to slide and the chains on their wrists, soles of the feet with the tintthe red juice of flowers and kiss the dust grains, the possibility of staying there.
This is how Rabindranath Tagore, the greatest Indian poet of all time, that concern us in this enchanting collection of poems, poems, the lowest strings of our heart. His poems tell of love and life – and are rich in descriptions of nature and beauty. Who loves or loved can not remain indifferent to his poems. Some readers have "smiles sweetly andsimple and some a sly twinkle in his eyes. Some have tears that well up in daylight, and others, the tears are hidden in the dark. "But we all need him, the poet," are getting younger or as old as the youngest and the oldest in the village. "
His poems speak of impossible love – like love of free-living bird and the bird in a cage: "Their love is intense with longing, but they can never fly wing to wing. Through the bars of the cage they look, and vain is their wish to knowbetween them. They flutter their wings in yearning, and sing "Come closer, my love!" The free bird cries, "You can not, I fear the closed doors of the cage." The cage bird whispers, "Oh, my wings are powerless and dead."
His poems speak of love secret: "The young couple came down the road in the rosy mist of the morning. He stopped at my door and asked me with an anxious cry:" Where is it? "For a real pity that I could say:" You are young travelers, it's me ""
His poems tellLovers of "emotion" When my love comes and sits next to me when my body trembles and my eyelids hang darker the night, the wind blows the lamp, and the clouds draw veils over the stars. And 'the jewel on my breast that shines and lights. I do not know how to hide it. "
Her poems tell us about the need for love, trust, "not to take the mystery of your heart, my friend Tell me, just me in secret. Smile, listen to the so gently, softly whisper, my heart isnot to my ears. "
His poems tell a love story, "clutching hands are the hands and eyes linger on eyes: thus begins the recording of our hearts. It 's the moon in March, the sweet smell of henna is in the air , my flute lies on the ground neglected and your garland of flowers is finished. This love between you and me is as simple as a song. "
His poems tell of love from the start: "An unbelieving smile flits between your eyes when I come to you to say goodbye. 'I've done that so oftenI come back soon. Actually I suspect that in my mind. For the spring days come back from time to time, the full moon takes leave and goes on a subsequent visit, the flowers are new and redness on the branches year after year, and it is likely that I will get my vacation just for you again . But maintaining the illusion of time, not sending him away as fast as rude. If I say I leave with you forever, accept as true, let a hint of tears for a moment to deepenmargin dark eyes. Then she smiled mischievously as you like as if I came back. "
Reading these poems I felt like a visit to a garden full of fragrance and beauty in a magical kingdom of age.
The Gardener Overview
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), also known by the sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali mystic, Brahmo poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, and composer whose works reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He became Asia’s first Nobel laureate when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. A Pirali Brahmin from Calcutta, Bengal, Tagore first wrote poems at the age of eight. At the age of sixteen, he published his first substantial poetry under the pseudonym Bhanushingho (Sun Lion) and wrote his first short stories and dramas in 1877. In later life Tagore protested strongly against the British Raj and gave his support to the Indian Independence Movement. Tagore’s life work endures, in the form of his poetry and the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University. Tagore wrote novels, short stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays on political and personal topics. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are among his best-known works. His verse, short stories, and novels, which often exhibited rhythmic lyricism, colloquial language, meditative naturalism, and philosophical contemplation, received worldwide acclaim. Tagore was also a cultural reformer and polymath who modernised Bengali art by rejecting strictures binding it to classical Indian forms. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively. – Wikipedia
