Question

In a poem in this collection, a speaker who is done “sailing from harbor to harbor” in a “weather-beaten boat” decides to dive into the “ocean of forms” in search of “the perfect pearl of the formless.” Another poem in this collection describes “death-dealing waves” after contrasting “pearl fishers” who “dive for pearls” (10[1])with figures who “gather pebbles and scatter them again” while “on the seashore of endless worlds.” (10[1])A poem in this collection prays to “my Father” to “let my country awake” (10[1])as a place (10[2])“where knowledge is free” and “the mind is without fear.” (10[1])An introduction by W. B. Yeats prefaces this collection, which opens with a poem whose speaker claims that “Thou hast made me endless, (10[1])such (-5[1])is thy pleasure.” For 10 points, name this Bengali (-5[1])poetry collection by Rabindranath Tagore. ■END■ (0[1])
