Tagore (1861-1941) is famous mainly as a poet. He began to learn poetry at the age of eight, and at the age of sixteen, Pannu Xinhe Poetry Copy was published, which was the imitation stage of his poetry creation. As Tagore himself said, these works "know nothing about the outside world except the self-exaggeration of the mind" and are "narcissistic fantasies". Twilight, a collection of poems published at the age of twenty, marks the official beginning of his poetry creation. Starting from Twilight, the author broke away from the "old rules of poetry" and found a way to express his artistic personality. From then until his death, Tagore published more than 50 poems and more than 2,000 songs. He dabbled in almost all schools and forms of poetry. Tagore insisted on innovation in form all his life, but it was a long way to embark on free poetry or prose poetry. It was not until his later years that he completely adopted the form of free verse. Although he translated his poems into English in the middle period and became famous in the world literary world, he also happily tried to create prose poems. Tagore's prose poems can be divided into two parts. The first part is eight collections of English prose poems: Gitanjali, Gardener's Collection, Crescent Moon Collection, Colorful Fruit Collection, Birds Collection, Lover's Gift, Crossing, Wandering Thoughts Collection, etc. The second part is a collection of five essays in Bengali, such as Random Thoughts, Again, Last Week, Pan Ye and Black Bull.
