Rabindranath Tagore--1861-1941

today is Tagore's birthday
the first non-European 
Nobel winner for literature
his sainted words a liberation
to many at the gates of wisdom

I'm on my way to Google right now. Thank you for the introduction. I feel a bit bad to have never known of him before feeling I should have.

Loved this write on Tagore. Rabindranath Tagore is highly revered in our country. He wrote the National anthem of both India and Bangladesh. A poet, painter, musician, novelist. His poem "Where the mind is without fear..." is a classic. Thank you for sharing this.
