Actually I don't have clear conception about that. As far I can recollect he passed many days in abroad... That's why I thought he might have done some works in English too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-3312217223888548942009-12-09T01:22:14.913-08:002009-12-09T01:22:14.913-08:00@Riyadh- It is extremely special to have you comme...@Riyadh- It is extremely special to have you comment about Tagore's poem and to provide additional information about him and the kuthibari that you visited!

It's tragic that people(usually fundamentalist/right-wing)are in such denial...<br />And a shame that hacked e-mails with professors and researchers venting got twisted into "manipulation", by the press. A liberal press, indeed.<br />Interesting how they "got leaked" just before the big conference in Copenhagen. Surely it is no "coincidence".Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-88021673841113643552009-12-08T11:58:26.042-08:002009-12-08T11:58:26.042-08:00The poem is so wonderful...

As far I know that the most of his works are written in Bengali language... I had the opportunity to visit one of his adobe named "kuthibari" which is situated in Kustia (A district of Bangladesh). It has a pond nearby and a river too which is no so far away... The Poet used to write poem sitting beside that pond and at the bank of that river. He passed many days at that place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-38751740891911693842009-12-07T23:59:09.456-08:002009-12-07T23:59:09.456-08:00@Kata- Thank you!

Ahead of his time? Yep! We better get our act together and face the realities of what we humans have done to this planet.<br /><br />Lydia, I've got a song on my blog that I'd like to share with all my dear blog friends for the Holidays. Hope you'll drop by and give it a listen.<br /><br />That rose I spoke to you about is still hanging in there. It's unbelievable in this cold!

It is so hard to imagine, we will be gone, our children probably gone, and their children, if any, would be quite well on in years... so hard to conceive of... Which perhaps helps understand why so many of our race seem to take the position, "After us, the deluge"...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.com
