News at Eleven: A notebook, tucked away among thousands

of manuscripts at Visva-Bharati, has yielded a treasure trove--16 unpublished poems of Rabindranath Tagore. What's even better, all these poems are among the rare ones inspired by his own paintings. In fact, Tagore has left notes at the end of each poem, which painting it corresponds to.

These works had been catalogued way back in the 1940s, but were forgotten.
