Apart from Tagore's fresh and natural writing, what I feel in Birds is more of a kind of love for life and thinking about love. There is no doubt that Tagore's inspiration comes from life, but at the same time it is higher than life; With his love for life, he cleverly concealed some sufferings and darkness, and gave the rest of the light and smile to the readers without reservation. His thinking on love covers many aspects, including the innocent love between young men and women, the eternal maternal love of mothers for their children, and the unspeakable love between man and nature ... Especially for love, Tagore used a lot of metaphors and rhetoric to praise the beauty and greatness of love. In Tagore's eyes, the world needs love, and life needs love more, just as he wrote in Birds: "I believe in your love, so let this be my last words."
On the other hand, Tagore captured many inspirations about nature. He said that the dusk in the sky is like a lamp, the leaves in the breeze are like fragments of thoughts, and the singing of birds is the echo of the morning light of the earth; He is the embodiment of all things in nature. He let the sky talk to the sea, birds talk to clouds, flowers talk to the sun ... In short, in Tagore's poems, the world is humanized and natural, and everything has its own growth and thinking; And he just sorted out the fragments of his thoughts and humanized them. And this is also the origin of the name "bird": "thoughts pass through my mind like flocks of wild ducks flying through the sky, and I hear their wings flying high."

This is Tagore, and this is a bird. Perhaps, for the history of human civilization, "bird" is just a drop in the ocean; However, I just want to say that this is a unique freshness. In today's busy and crowded city, we can create another paradise for us with its vast natural wilderness.
19 10 published a collection of philosophical poems, Gitanjali, which showed Tagore's unique style for the first time. Formally, this is an ode to God, and "Gitanjali" means "offering a poem". But Tagore praised not the absolute authority of monotheism which is superior to all things, but the omnipotence of all things, which is accessible to everyone and has a strong civilian color. The poet advises blind admirers: "forget praise and counting beads!" " Because God is not in the dark temple, "he is at the farmer who hoes dry land/at the road builder who knocks stones/in the sun, in the rain/he is with them/his robe is covered with dust." People should take off their robes and go to the earth to meet God. "Work and sweat with him."
There is no doubt that the pantheism reflected by Chittaglia is closely related to ancient Indian books such as Upanishads. However, Tagore did not intend to create a closed world while carrying forward the national tradition. He is eager for the long-term isolation between East and West to keep close and communicate.
