Features: Who are you, reader, a hundred years later reading my poems, I cannot send you a single flower from the wealth of spring, or a golden mist from the distant clouds. Open the door, pluck the fragrance of flowers that disappeared a hundred years ago from your blooming garden. The pain of love, like a surging ocean, sings in my life; while the joy of love, like a bird singing among flowers. Time is the wealth of change, but the clock poorly imitates it, only change, not wealth. The closer you are to you, the more distant the distance. We only approach greatness when we are humble. We see the world wrong and say it deceives us. If you cry because you missed the sun, then you will miss the stars. Thank you for the light of the flame, but don’t forget the person holding the lamp, who stands steadfastly in the darkness. My last blessing is for those who know I am not perfect and still love me. Is there more beautiful writing than this? Only in Tagore’s handwriting can writers read such innocent and naive sentiments. Each poem seems to possess an unfathomable magic, revealing the meaning of everything and taking us to a beautiful and peaceful world. This book includes works such as Stray Birds, The Crescent Moon, Fireflies, Gardener, and Gitanjali, representing one of Tagore’s representative works and one of the most outstanding poetry collections in the world, including over 300 elegant short poems. In the author’s hands, day and night, streams and oceans, freedom and betrayal merge into one. Short sentences convey profound life philosophies, guiding people to explore the source of truth and wisdom. Reading these short poems for the first time is like opening the window on a rainy summer morning, seeing a faint and transparent world, everything is so clear and beautiful, but the charm within is long and thought-provoking.
