However, up to now there are still very few comparative studies on its translations, and among the very few comparative studies on Gitanjali, Bing Xin＇s version is regarded by most scholars as more popular and readable. In order to analyze the differences between the two Chinese versions by Bing Xin and Bai Kaiyuan in an objective and scientific manner, thispaper makes a corpus-based comparative study on the two versions. The results show that, compared to Bing Xin＇s version, Bai Kaiyuan＇s version boasts greater words diversity, stronger readability and deeper emotions. The differences between these two versions can be explained by the development of Chinese vocabularies and rich modifiers which are used by Bai Kaiyuan.展开更多

Music ennobles him to a level of friendship with the Creator. Tagore＇s poems are suffused with wonder at the melodies spun by the lord. These entrance the entire universe. The poet wants to sign the same way but cannot. He has been made captive in the meshes of his music. The objective of the present study is to show how Tagore unites with God through songs. Methodology adopted in this study is the dynamic analysis of the poems. The intrinsic idea is the recurrent theme in his songs using me as an offering of worship O Lord, even if thou inflict pain on me in the process. Numerous bereavements in his life, from early youth to old age, agonized him throughout. But the more he suffered, the stronger grew his faith so he could write this song. The refrain, re-iterated from the beginning to the end, enhances the musicality. Thus it can be concluded when the poet perceived the world through songs, then he knew the world and he recognized it.展开更多
