  Gitanjali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gitanjali is a collection of 103 English poems, largely translations, by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore.
A slender volume was published in 1913 with an exhilarating preface by WB Yeats, and in the same year, based on a corpus of three thin translations, Rabindranath became the first non-European to win the Nobel prize for literature.
The poems of Gitanjali have a largely metaphysical outlook, and much of the poetry talks about an union with the supreme, but the union also has in it much of the discourse of two earthly lovers.

 A Foreign Shine and Assumed Gestures: The Ersatz Tagore of the West. Article on Tagore by Somjit Dutt
Tagore's image in the West initially depended in the main, on his Gitanjali ('Song Offerings') and towards the end of his life, it was consolidated or eroded by other volumes of poetry, a few of his plays and his lectures.
It was Yeats's fulsome Introduction to the English Gitanjali that set the stage for the emergence of Tagore as a religious prophet in the West, very much in the Christian mould.
It is amusing to observe the contrast of this quotation and the fulsome introduction to the Gitanjali.

 The Daily Star Web Edition Vol. 4 Num 333   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
By the time Tagore came to translate the Gitanjali into English in 1912 (it was published by Macmillan in London in 1913), he had established himself, after a not inconsiderable spell of revilement from his detractors, as the foremost poet in Bengali; he had finally transcended the cliques and frissons of the Bengali literary world.
The poems themselves were received, to a large extent, as Eastern wisdom, and Tagore is open to the speculation that he might have deliberately positioned himself, in these poems and in public life, as an Eastern mystic for the eyes of the West.
On one level, thus, the English Gitanjali is a poor translation; on another, it is a genuine instance, albeit only a partially successful one, of an Indian bilingual sensibility expressing itself in the English language.
