Poetry written by Bing Xin to Tagore

It is the prose "Send to the Indian Philosopher Rabindranath Tagore", not a poem.

1. Original text

Tagore! Beautiful and majestic Tagore! When I crossed the boundary of "infinite life" - birth -, you have also crossed this boundary and released infinite light for mankind.

It’s just that I didn’t know you existed in the world——

On a night last year when the autumn wind was bleak and the moon and stars were sparse, a book accidentally introduced you to me. I read it. After finishing your biography and poems - I don't think about anything else, I just feel deeply clear... poignant.

Your extreme belief - your belief that "there is a great harmony between the universe and the individual spirit"; your accumulation of "natural beauty" and your poems that use "natural beauty" are all infiltrated into In my mind, and my original "unspeakable" thoughts, strands of synthetic strings played ethereal, magical, tuneless and silent music.

Tagore! Thank you for curing my innate sadness with your beautiful poetry; thank you for soothing the loneliness of my soul with your excellent philosophy.

At this time, I kept writing late at night and wrote this text of praise and gratitude. I was just pouring out my thoughts, why should I ask you to know!

However, since we are united in "Brahman", I also wrote it and you also saw it.
