Many poems in Birds were originally written in Bengali, but later Tagore himself translated them into English, and some were written directly in English. This collection of poems contains 325 untitled poems, most of which are only one or two lines, either capturing a natural landscape or telling a story.
Poetry collection has no obvious logical structure and clear center, but a fragment record of the poet's feelings, thoughts and feelings in daily life.
Appreciation of birds;
Most of the poems in Birds are only one or two lines, and very few are three or four lines. The poet calls these little problems "birds". The author thinks that perhaps he intends to compare himself to an "eternal traveler" seeking an ideal realm and record his journey with these poems describing the long journey of drifters from south to north.
Therefore, in his poems, Tagore is often good at capturing a natural scenery, or telling a simple truth, such as lightning in the air, the floodlight of the waves, the afterglow of the sunset and the shadow of dawn, which gives people a vivid impression and contains profound philosophy. Although the poem shows an instant impression, or a rapidly changing thinking that birds in the air have no footprints.
The poet seems to see what he doesn't see. If there is anything, it is illusory and elusive, but as long as the poet's basic philosophical thoughts and social views are closely linked, the philosophical content in this collection of poems is understandable. "Birds" has four unique skills: scenery, emotion and reason, especially the philosophy of "the author wins the heart and the reader is proud". This is his thought-provoking secret.
