The Gardener

The Gardener is a tremendous poetry collection of Bengali poetry by the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. This volume contains the following passage:
"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."
Rabindranath Tagore.
