Baby's World
I
wish
I
could
take
a
quiet
corner
in
the
heart
of
my
baby's
very
own
world.
I
know
it
has
stars
that
talk
to
him,
and
a
sky
that
stoops
down
to
his
face
to
amuse
him
with
its
silly
clouds
and
rainbows.
Those
who
make
believe
to
be
dumb,
and
look
as
if
they
never
could
move,
come
creeping
to
his
window
with
their
stories
and
with
trays
crowded
with
bright
toys.
I
wish
I
could
travel
by
the
road
that
crosses
baby's
mind,
and
out
beyond
all
bounds;
Where
messengers
run
errands
for
no
cause
between
the
kingdoms
of
kings
of
no
history;
Where
Reason
makes
kites
of
her
laws
and
flies
them,
the
Truth
sets
Fact
free
from
its
fetters.
Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore (born May 7, 1861, Calcutta [now Kolkata], India—died August 7, 1941, Calcutta) Bengali poet, short-story writer, song composer, playwright, essayist, and painter who introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India. In 1913 he became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
