Abstract
Tagore, the interpreter of the East to the West, was impelled by the urge of his strong desire for world understanding to shape his thought in many media. He presents his message clothed in the garb of nature and her influence on men; he expresses his rejection of the material in favor of the spiritual and the simple in beautiful melody; he champions the poor and the oppressed in arresting song, and with impassioned ardor compels sincerity and abandonment of all sham and orthodoxy that cripple the spirit.
