Description

Fruit-Gathering by Rabindranath Tagore is a poem about how people work hard so they can eat fruit. It's an ancient saying that "man cannot live on bread alone" and the old man in this poem symbolizes all of humanity, seeking nourishment from fruits. The old man spends his days climbing up the mountain to collect the delicious fruit.

Author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) wrote Gitanjali and made a world listen to Bengal. Poet, songwriter, playwright, and founder of Santiniketan, he was the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature. The English Gitanjali is a doorway; the Bengali work is a city. He composed songs that became national anthems and argued, politely and without pause, for a modern India that could still sing. Fourteen titles here.
