Description

The poem Stray Birds by Rabindranath Tagore is a work of mythical realism that contrasts the natural with the artificial nature. Tagore uses imagery to show nature as something powerful and everlasting, necessary for all living beings. The poem discusses the past life of man being as one with nature as it was before society's focus shifted from nature to advancement.

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.
