Product Description: The host is riding from Knocknarea And over the grave of Clooth-na-bare; Caolte tossing his burning hair And Niamh calling Away, come away: Empty your heart of its mortal dream. The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round, Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound, Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are a-gleam, Our arms are waving, our lips are apart; And if any gaze on our rushing band, We come between him and the deed of his hand, We come between him and the hope of his heart...read more

Product Description: Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced) and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation...read more

One of the most famous poets of the 20th century, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was so popular and renowned during his time that he was the leader of what came to be known as the Irish Literary Revival, on the strength of his short stories and vivid poetry. Eventually it would lead to his winning a Nobel Prize in 1923. It’s no surprise that Ireland loved its home grown son; the Nobel Prize Committee credited him for “inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.”Before Yeats won awards, his interest in spirituality and folklore drove him to write at length about Irish mythology and the occult before the turn of the 20th century. In many ways, it was Yeats who popularized the characters of Celtic mythology and medieval Irish folklore for contemporaneous audiences.

Where There is Nothing by W. B. Yeats

"In The Seven Woods", by William Butler Yeats. William Butler Yeats, irish poet (1865-1939).

Product Description: Mosada by W. B. Yeats

Like the Psalms of David, "Gitanjali" is a soothing balm to the spirit. In the words of W.B. Yeats, who contributed greatly to the exposure of Tagore to the Western world and subsequently to Tagore's award for the Nobel prize in Literature, "...these prose translation from Rabindranath Tagore have stirred my blood as nothing has for years..." "Gitanjali" is a collection of prose poems by Indian author Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore, who wrote poetry in Bengali, translated "Gitanjali" himself into English. This English version of "Gitanjali" is a series of prose poems that reflect on the interrelationships among the poet/speaker, the deity, and the world. Although Tagore had a Hindu background, the spirituality of this book is generally expressed in universal terms so that Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, or those of other faiths could find much that resonates in "Gitanjali." The language in "Gitanjali" is often very sensuous and beautiful, and sometimes embraces paradox. "Gitanjali," which is translated "Song Offerings," was written with the Creator in mind and reflects Tagore's wish to be united with the Creator. It is hard to read Tagore's poetry without missing his show of devotion and love for the Creator using various metaphorical subjects like flowers, rivers etc. One cannot but admire the beauty and art in it. Rabindranath Tagore was a polymath: a poet, fiction writer, dramatist, painter, educator, political thinker, philosopher of science. He was also a genius in music, choreography, architecture, social service and statesmanship. Over six decades Tagore gave the world some 2,500 songs, more than 2,000 paintings and drawings, 28 volumes of poetry, drama, opera, short stories, novels, essays and diaries and a vast number of letters.
