Legacy
In the English-speaking world, the writings of Tagore are no longer widely read. Nonetheless, for millions of Bengali speakers, the Bengali originals continue to resonate, as in this verse:
I stand mesmerized,
wondering how you sing
your notes hold the world spellbound –
the light of your music
lights up my universe.
(song 22 of Bengali Gitanjali, song 3 in the English)
