In a world of infinite complexity,
straining towards universality,
its jagged disparities
confronting each other at close quarters,
while concurrently its frontiers in space recede to new worlds,
individuals, individual man tends to seek reassurance and stability
in conforming to one or another
restrictive cult or method.

each embodying some particular uniformity,

art or science or cars for all,

but invalid as an exclusive principle.
In Tagore, we find that rare
human being,
a whole man, part artist,
human being.
Tagore, as other great men,
cannot be conveniently reduced
to some slogan or cult.
He, as Beethoven or Da Vinci,
proves that the poet in his ivory tower,
the educator sharing
knowledge and experience,
the painter transferring his visions
to us in color and shape,
the philosopher who

interprets
the musician in touch with infinity
and the depths of heart and soul,
the humanist compassionate
and deeply understanding
of his fellow men and women.
Tagore proves that these many attributes,
rather than being mutually exclusive,
are in truth mutually strengthening
and can and do indeed dwell
in the same breast.
One of his greatest achievements
was to revive in the people of India
a sense of their own culture in song,
His poems, however, were mostly composed
in the language we share in common,
in English.
The present recording of
songs from the opera Shyama
can illustrate but a frac

that men like Bach, Mozart,

and Tagore

which it would take more than one
lifetime only to copy.
His musical activity alone
has bequeathed us some 3 ,000 songs,
Certainly,
quality is intimately allied to quantity,
both by volume of experience

G
an d by competitive standards.
Perhaps in listening to these songs,
Tagore may communicate to us something
of the humanist inspiration
