The Gardener LI: Then Finish the Last Song

Then finish the last song and let us
leave.
Forget this night when the night is
no more.
Whom do I try to clasp in my
arms? Dreams can never be made captive.
My eager hands press emptiness to
my heart and it bruises my breast.

Disillusionment and Lost Love Longing and Absence Pain and Despair Soul

Rabindranath Tagore

1861-05-07 — 1941-08-07 · Calcutá

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.
