Description
Excerpt from Gitanjali: And Fruit-Gathering
Rabindranath every day, to read one line of his is to forget all the troubles of the world. I said, An Englishman living in London in the reign of Richard the Second had he been shown trans lations from Petrarch or from Dante, would have found no books to answer his questions, but would have ques tioned some Florentine banker or Lom bard merchant as I question you. For all I know, so abundant and simple is this poetry, the new Renaissance has been born in your country and I shall never know of it except by hearsay.
