DEVAYANI

Forgiveness! You have angered my heart till it is hard and burning like a thunderbolt! You can go back to your work and your glory, but what is left for me? Memory is a bed of thorns, and secret shame will gnaw at the roots of my life. You came like a wayfarer, sat through the sunny hours in the shade of my garden, and to while time away you plucked all its flowers and wove them into a chain. And now, parting, you snap the thread and let the flowers drop on the dust! Accursed be that great knowledge you have earned!—a burden that, though others share equally with you, will never be lightened.

Tell me, for whom do you wait?
She looks in my face and says, "No one, no one at all!"

A beautiful couplet of a most Prestigious writer Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore has penned the most heart wrenching lines . It provides a sweet melancholy.

Whenever I read anything written by Rabindranath Tagore, a lot is lost in translation because I can only read the translations done by other people of his work, but there is always a sublime feeling that forms inside me, which is between romanticism and nostalgia. This book is not different in that

Tagore người Châu Á đầu tiên đạt giải Nobel Văn Học. Với một kho tàng tác phẩm đồ sộ. Thật lòng khi đọc Người Thoáng Hiện tôi hoàn toàn không hiểu hết được ý thơ của tác giả. Một tác phẩm đòi hỏi người đọc có nhiều kiến thức và hiểu biết hơn để hiểu hết những thông điệp tác giả truyền tải.

This is all about of love and love lost and so from me, the romantic, a big thumbs up!!! I love the poet's metaphors and the Indian- ness in them. The tales are deeply rooted in Indian cultural mores, a bit of mythology thrown in. It's a completely Indian book if there is a genre as such. Here are s

Thoroughly enjoyed reading through the poetry on love and the poetic dialog based on hindu epics.

Some excerpts I loved --

"I was walking along a path overgrown with grass, when suddenly I heard from some one behind, "See if you know me?" I turned round and looked at her and said, "I cannot remember

Profound and pure.

I was walking along a path overgrown with grass, when
suddenly I heard from someone behind, “See if you
know me?”
I turned around and looked at her and said, “I cannot
remember your name.”
She said, “I am the first great Sorrow whom you met
when you were young.”
Her eyes looked like a morning dew is still
