1915. Illustrated. The story of the life of Rabindranath Tagore,
India's greatest living poet, awarded the Nobel Prize for
idealistic literature, which earned him an international
reputation. Mabie writes in the Introduction that: This account of
Tagore's interests and activities, his devotion to education and
his methods of dealing with boys, his habits of work, his hopes for
India, gives Western readers an intimate impression of a
personality formed by Eastern ideas and conditions, and disclosing
the richness and beauty which flow from them and witness to their
vitality and value. As a poet Tagore needs no commentator save a
willingness to see truth from the other side of the world to give
the imagination its rightful place beside the critical faculty. His
thought is elusive and must be patiently pursued, and his speech is
saturated with symbolism and imagery; he cannot be read at full
speed; he must be waited upon and communed with. But if he demands
much it is because he has much to give; and what he has to give is
precisely what we need in this overworked Western world and this
eager, impatient age.
