The Gardener

Rabindranath Tagore

Book Overview: 

Most of the lyrics of love and life, the translations of which from Bengali are published in this book, were written much earlier than the series of religious poems contained in the book named Gitanjali. The translations are not always literal—the originals being sometimes abridged and sometimes paraphrased.

Book Excerpt: 
. . .The sky is overcast with clouds—it is late. Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet. 12 If you would be busy and fill your pitcher, come, O come to my lake. The water will cling round your feet and babble its secret. The shadow of the coming rain is on the sands, and the clouds hang low upon the blue lines of the trees like the heavy hair above your eyebrows. I know well the rhythm of your steps, they are beating in my heart. Come, O come to my lake, if you must fill your pitcher. If you would be idle and sit listless and let your pitcher float on the water, come, O come to my lake. The grassy slope is green, and the wild flowers beyond number. Your thoughts will stray out of your dark eyes like birds from their nests. Your veil will drop to your feet. Come, O come to my lake if you must sit idle. If you would leave off your play and dive in the water, come, O come to my lake. Let your blue mantle lie on . . . Read More

The illustrations are completely delightful; I just loved them. T

Soy yo, en este caso no queda duda, pero no he sabido encontrar magia en ninguno de sus poemas. De todas maneras, me ha gustado descubrir a este autor y adentrarme en su mundo. Hacerlo siempre nos aporta una mirada diferente a una zona de confort que no es la nuestra ❤️

I love this little book! This book made my heart sing.

This is about a gardener. She is about 8 or so. I’m not as big a gardener as Lydia Grace is, but I do love gardens and plants. This is set during the depression of the 30s. A girl has to go live with her uncle in the big city when her parents bo
