RABINDRANATH TAGORE |
|
| He wrote a
number of stories for children too in a magazine called Balak run by a relative of his. Some of these stories and plays were drawn from the dreams he had. He wrote many poems at this time which were collected as Morning Songs and Evening Songs. The poems he wrote for children are collected in the book The Crescent Moon. He edited a paper called Sadhana. Rabindranath was married when he was twenty-two. But his wife and two children - a girl and a boy - all died one after the other very early in his married life. All this made him feel very sad. But he overcame this sadness and forgot them in the poems he wrote at that time. Those poems are collected in the Gitanjali. Originally, the Gitanjali was written in Bengali. When Rabindranath on a later occasion visited England, he translated these poems to English. |
