Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. The Gardener is a book of prose. These early writings are lyrics about love and life. One verse reads as follows.

A flutter of a flitting touch brushed me and vanished in a moment, like a torn flower petal blown in the breeze. It fell upon my heart like a sigh of her body and whisper of her heart."
