Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter, widely regarded as the most important figure in modern Indian literature. A polymath, his vast creative output spanned poetry, novels, short stories, dramas, essays, and songs, often exploring themes of nature, spirituality, human relationships, and the complexities of life in a changing world. Tagore was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, a testament to his profound lyrical genius and universal appeal. His work championed humanism, internationalism, and the harmonious integration of Eastern and Western thought.

When The Two Sisters Go To Fetch Water

When The Two Sisters Go To Fetch Water

WHEN the two sisters go to fetch water, they come to this spot and they smile.
They must be aware of somebody who stands behind the trees whenever they go to
fetch water.


The two sisters whisper to each other when they pass this spot.
They must have guessed the secret of that somebody who stands behind the trees
whenever they go to fetch water.


Their pitchers lurch suddenly, and water spills when they reach this spot.
They must have found out that somebody's heart is beating who stands behind the
trees whenever they go to fetch water.


The two sisters glance at each other when they come to this spot, and they smile.
There is a laughter in their swift-stepping feet, which makes confusion in somebody's
mind who stands behind the trees whenever they go to fetch water.
