Tagore: 'Nothing but a poet'

Rabindranath Tagore was born 150years ago today.The question isn't whether we should discover him,but whether we're at all ready for him.
    
 It's from his intimacy with solitariness and secrecy that his extraordinary language and his transformative vision of the world emerge.He often seems to make this solitary self an interlocutor,in a tone at once self-flagellating and accusatory:"You were hidden at my heart's core /And I did not notice you".
**************************************************************
Among the many striking things about Tagore's life is his consistent struggle to be primarily ,a mere creative artist" even as he mutated into a worldwide figure;a struggle most artists find difficult,but which Tagore had the better of,and even benefited from.
