 Lover’s Gift and Crossing

By

Here are brought together Sir Rabindranath Tagore’s latest poems. The work is divided into two parts. It is really, in fact, two volumes in one. The first is entitled Lover’s Gift and the second Crossing. It is again the poet of Gitanjali and of Fruit Gathering that speaks in this book; an artist of rare lyrical powers, who understands the human soul.

“Tagore’s poems are devotions–mystical, sublimated ecstasy, in which the brutalized passions of the world have no place or being…. They are the thoughts of a seer–the perfect union of beauty and truth in poetry.” –Review of Reviews.
