>>Summary of the poem The Journey By Tagore
>>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.” 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.
