"Clouds come floating into my life to give color to my sunset sky, not to carry rain or usher in storms." "If you grieve because the sun has gone out of your life, you will be unable to view the stars." but to face them without fear..." Rabindranath Tagore was a Nobel Prize-winning Indian poet, musician, and painter. He is considered one of the greatest poets of modern India. His work focuses on the relationship between humanity and nature, and he has been called the "greatest Indian poet" and the "Bard of Bengal". He was born on April 23, 1861, in Chichigarh, now in Bangladesh. The family name comes from the town of Caithness, Scotland, where they had moved before coming to India. He was educated at home by private tutors and then attended the Scottish Church College in Calcutta (now Kolkata). In 1879, he entered University of Calcutta where he studied law for three years but gave it up to write poems and songs. He also started taking art lessons from an artist named Sudhin Nath Bandyopadhyay who influenced many young Indians at that time. In 1888, Tagore married Subodhini Devi, a daughter of a wealthy lawyer. They had two children: Sonatina and Sanghamitra.
