The huge dark masses of water would swell and rise up like a great black wall, reaching, it seemed, almost to the angry, leaden sky above, then sweeping down with mighty force, thunder upon the decks of that great vessel, making it shudder to its very center, sending it down, down into the yawning depths, as if eager, in venomous spite, to blot it out of existence...FROM THE BOOKS.

A wonderful compilation of the poems that are more of prayers to the divine to ask for awakening of inner strength and peace. Out of the two aspects of the Gitanjali, the first one is the conversation between God and the poet himself, wherein he bares his soul and asks the divine to awaken his countrymen to see how the country id being exploited at the hands of Britishers and rise up to fight for their motherland.
