<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Fruit-Gathering</i> (1916) is a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Translated into English by Tagore after he received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, <i>Fruit-Gathering</i> is a powerful collection of prose poems by a master of Indian literature. "Bid me and I shall gather my fruits to bring them in full baskets into your courtyard, though some are lost and some not ripe. For the season grows heavy with its fulness, and there is a plaintive shepherd's pipe in the shade. Bid me and I shall set sail on the river." In these poems of love, nature, faith, and dreams, Tagore is at the height of his creative powers. In one passage, he is a lovesick youth, in another, an illiterate man with a letter he cannot read. He longs to be a poet of the night, a singer of "fathomless silence." Filled with visions of saints and kings, celebrations of beauty, and powerful evocations of the natural world, <i>Fruit-Gathering</i> is one of his most original works. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rabindranath Tagore's <i>Fruit-Gathering</i> is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>"Bid me and I shall gather my fruits to bring them in full baskets into your courtyard, though some are lost and some not ripe." Tagore's poems ring with universal truth. Grounded in tradition and the poet's philosophical vision, they remain timeless and borderless, as fresh today as they were a century ago. <i>Fruit-Gathering</i> is a poetry collection by Rabindranath Tagore.</p>
