Here is my brief response to the poem " Taj Mahal" by Rabindranath Tagore. The poem is a celebration of love and also the building that commemorates the love between a Mughal Emperor and his wife.

In some ways the poem reminds me of Shelley's " Ozymandias" as both speak about the transience of life but while Shelley concentrates on the transience of power and glory and satirises Ozymandias by using the broken statue to show us that worldly power and glory are subject to degradation and decay , in Tagore's " Taj Mahal" , love , even worldly love if true will outlast the passing of time. The image of the Taj Mahal as " a tear drop" in the " cheek of eternity" is both enchanting and sad at the same time. In this poem, Tagore suggests that Shah Jehan was aware that power , wealth and glory, all fade away " in the current of time"...so Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal " to perpetuate the sorrow of his heart" but wished to perpetuate his love( and grief at his beloved queens passing away) in this memorial, the Taj Mahal.

The king is no more and his empire has " vanished" like a dream, his musicians too have passed away but the symbol of his love , the Taj Mahal carries the " ageless" and timeless message of the Emperor's love. It is an " untarnished

love".

As Shakespeare suggests in sonnet 116 , true love survives time and death.

Tagore is just as aware as Shelley of the transience of life, but whereas Shelley concentrates on the futility and vanity of human ( Ozymandias's ) achievement, Tagore concentrates on the beauty of love as depicted in the image of the tear drop of the emperor captured in the form of the Taj Mahal , glittering on the " cheek of time ". Ozymandias shattered form shows that this emperor could not survive the ravages of time.

There is much more that can be said about Tagore's views on the transience of life and I am always reminded of his attitude to death in the lines: None lasts for ever, and nothing lasts for long

So keep this in mind and rejoice

The poem deals with the enviroment of Taj Mahal at present. The poem symbolises love between Shah Jahan and Mumtaz. In the poe, the children who were walking to school notices the unclean enviroment of Taj Mahal. The Yamuna River which is full of dirt and the bull which is also dirty and waving its tail to disturb the flies. Taj Mahal as we know is empty but still remains affectionate between true lovers. In this generation people do not care about the dirty enviroment of Taj Mahal and even the tourist too because today people are busy in their work and they do not have time to take care the enviroment of Taj Mahal whether the enviroment is dirty or clean. The poem conveys that “Taj Mahal creates sadness in the minds of true lovers”.
