like Cod Liver Oil or Waterbury's Compound, [Rabindranath] Tagore was always destined to date, and even the irritation he caused to be forgotten.So it's encouraging to discover that at least the irritation hasn't vanished entirely. At the same time, I feel a surge of empathy for Jack and JC, and all who can't read Tagore in Bengali, who must endure the most popular English translations (which are still Tagore's own), and take on trust there's something out there worth celebrating.
