On My Birthday



Written in the last year of his life Rabindranath Tagore's On My Birthday is a dream of a world where words do not have rules or structure.  The words he imagines are in different from the words of his day, which he feels are simple being used to "pass on his message to the distant lands of the future."  Artistic creations, to Tagore, are more important than documentation.
