Saw a lovely portrait of Tagore in our archives. He was rejected a knighthood, writing to Lord Chelmsford:
“The enormity of the measures taken by the Government in the Punjab for quelling some local disturbances has, with a rude shock, revealed to our minds the helplessness of our position as British subjects in India. The disproportionate severity of the punishments ...are without parallel in the history of civilised governments…”

Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.
It's of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature

The tributary of your suffering merges with the tributary of mine and we become indistinguishable in the ocean of our collective humanity.

Had the honor of singing with @kevinmeehan this evening, and it was very special because it was #Tagore’s version and rewriting of #AuldLangSyne. Dr. Meehan also learned the Bengali verses!! #PuranoSheiDinerKotha

Hitler once said that "anyone who sees and paints the sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilised".
Unravelling the mystery behind the missing Tagore paintings that the Nazi regime classified as “degenerate”.

“We know people only in dotted outline.”
A reflective diary entry by poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, written in 1894. This is a beautiful passage which reminded me a little of parts of Rilke’s letters.
