"I beg to convey to the Swedish Academy my grateful appreciation of the breadth of understanding which has brought the distant near and has made a stranger a brother." - Telegram from Rabindranath Tagore, read by Mr. Clive, British Chargé d'Affaires [India was ruled by the British], at the Nobel Banquet at Grand Hôtel, Stockholm, December 10, 1913.

"Visva-Bharati represents India where she has her wealth of mind which is for all. Visva-Bharati acknowledges India's obligation to offer to others the hospitality of her best culture and India's right to accept from others their best "

Gitanjali 35

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action --
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Gitanjali (Song Offerings): A Collection of Prose Translations made by Tagore from the Original Bangali, intro By William Butler Yeats.

Crossing

You came to my door in the dawn and sang; it angered me to be awakened from sleep, and you went away unheeded.
You came in the noon and asked for water; it vexed me in my work, and you were sent away with reproaches.
You came in the evening with your flaming torches; you seemed to me like a terror and I shut my door.
Now in the midnight I sit alone in my lampless room and call you back - whom I turned away in insult.
