Fruit-Gathering (1916) is a collection of poems by Rabindranath
Tagore. Translated into English by Tagore after he received the
1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, Fruit-Gathering is a powerful
collection of prose poems by a master of Indian literature. "Bid me
and I shall gather my fruits to bring them in full baskets into
your courtyard, though some are lost and some not ripe. For the
season grows heavy with its fulness, and there is a plaintive
shepherd's pipe in the shade. Bid me and I shall set sail on the
river." In these poems of love, nature, faith, and dreams, Tagore
is at the height of his creative powers. In one passage, he is a
lovesick youth, in another, an illiterate man with a letter he
cannot read. He longs to be a poet of the night, a singer of
"fathomless silence." Filled with visions of saints and kings,
celebrations of beauty, and powerful evocations of the natural
world, Fruit-Gathering is one of his most original works. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Rabindranath Tagore's Fruit-Gathering is a classic
of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.
