Quotes from Rabindranath Tagore's books, and about them
The Home and the World on Paradise Lost: “Fate seems bent on writing Paradise Lost in blank verse, in my case, and so has no use for a rhyming friend!”
The Satanic Verses on Gitanjali: “What was it that made them a living ... His book learning? His Gitanjali, Eclogues, or that play Othello that he explained was really Attallah or Attaullah except the writer couldn't spell, what sort of writer was that, anyway? (author inferred: Gitanjali is Tagore's well-known collection, not attributed by name in the text)”
