૨. વિશ્વકવિ અને બંગાળી
Rabindranath Tagore: Poet and Dramatist, Edward Thompson, revised second edition, Oxford University Press, London, ૧૯૪૮. (Many of his Western readers practically ceased their reading of him(Tagore) with his fine translation of Kabir) See the Epilogue, p.૨૯૭ and passim.
The Letters of W. B. Yeats, edited by Allan Wade. Rupert Hart-Davis, London, ૧૯૫૪, p.૫૭૨-૭૩. In November, ૧૯૧૨, Yeats wrote to Edmund Gosse in the following terms: I think it would be a imaginative and notable thing for us to elect him(Tagore) to our Committee.(The Committee remains unspecified.) He is the great poet of Bemgal though eligible for election because of his English translation of his work alone. I think from the English point of view too it would be a fine thing to do, a piece of wise imperialism, for he is worshipped as no poet of Europe is. I will not tell you which page yo turn to for though he is unequal and there are dull pages, yo will not read far without coming to great beauty. I believe that if we pay him honour, it will be understood that we honour India also for he is its most famous man today.
