| Summary |
"Der Gärtner" by Rabindranath Tagore is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century. The work features a tapestry of voices and emotions centered around themes of love, longing, and the beauty of nature. Each poem introduces characters such as a servant longing for simpler joys and reflections on love's complexities, painting a vivid landscape of human experience and desire. The opening portion of the collection presents an intimate dialogue between a servant and a queen, where the servant expresses his wish to abandon a life of warfare and glory to tend to her flower garden instead. His yearning to be near her, to care for her surroundings and bring her joy, is evident as he describes the simple, yet meaningful tasks he would perform. The queen grants him this wish, allowing a shift in roles and symbolizing deeper themes of devotion and the interplay of duty and desire. Following this dialogue, the poet reflects on life and creative expression, revealing an existential contemplation woven through tender sentiments and vibrant imagery.
