Book excerpt: Walt Whitman and Rabindranath Tagore:Prophets of America and IndiaComposite personalities like Whitman and Tagore baffle anyone who wishes to write or speak about them. Both the poets certainly are among the greatest poets of the world. It has been my endeavor to explore certain areas of intersection between Whitman and Tagore in the response to poetry, in the hope that the exploration will shed considerable light on 'the Philosophical Outlook' by bringing out hitherto unknown similarities and contrasts.The two pictures of the bards of America and India complement and supplement each other. Whitman is considered as one among the great erratic geniuses of the world, full of unresolved tensions and contradictions; the imposing figure of Tagore stands out as a symbol of the Indian Renaissance, harmonizing diverse elements. Their poetry has become a part of the cosmic rhythm.
