Question

Summary of the journey by Rabindranath Tagore

Answer 1

Answer:

The Journey by Rabindranath Tagore emphasizes the spiritual journey. The poem describes the human journey of life. The poet tried to add positivity by telling the nature's connection with human, which we ignore in our fast pace of life

Explanation:

Rabindranath Tagore translated his collection of poems, Gitanjali, into English. He numbered each poem and rendered them into prose. However, they remain poetry of the highest order. Gitanjali's number 48 focuses on the spiritual "journey" of the speaker, even as at the outset, the fellows involved seem to be merely taking an ordinary hike. What happens to the speaker is truly astounding, as he realizes the true nature of the idea of a "journey."

In this poem, the term, “journey,” serves as an extended metaphor for “meditation” or following the spiritual path. The speaker takes his meditation seat and begins his search for union with the Divine. He engages in the extended metaphor to dramatically reveal his series of feelings on his metaphorical “journey.” While the source for the drama could credibly have been a literal trek across the country on the beautiful morning, the poem itself remains focused on the inner spiritual journey of the speaker.

The Journey

The morning sea of silence broke into ripples of bird songs;

and the flowers were all merry by the roadside;

and the wealth of gold was scattered through the rift of the clouds

while we busily went on our way and paid no heed.

We sang no glad songs nor played;

we went not to the village for barter;

we spoke not a word nor smiled;

we lingered not on the way.

We quickened our pace more and more as the time sped by.

The sun rose to the mid sky and doves cooed in the shade.

Withered leaves danced and whirled in the hot air of noon.

The shepherd boy drowsed and dreamed in the shadow of the banyan tree,

and I laid myself down by the water

and stretched my tired limbs on the grass.

My companions laughed at me in scorn;

they held their heads high and hurried on;

they never looked back nor rested;

they vanished in the distant blue haze.

They crossed many meadows and hills,

and passed through strange, far-away countries.

All honor to you, heroic host of the interminable path!

Mockery and reproach pricked me to rise,

but found no response in me.

I gave myself up for lost

in the depth of a glad humiliation

—in the shadow of a dim delight.

The repose of the sun-embroidered green gloom

slowly spread over my heart.

I forgot for what I had traveled,

and I surrendered my mind without struggle

to the maze of shadows and songs.

At last, when I woke from my slumber and opened my eyes,

I saw thee standing by me, flooding my sleep with thy smile.

How I had feared that the path was long and wearisome,

and the struggle to reach thee was hard!

please mark as brainliest answer..
