Rabindranath Tagore

Patraput Rabindranath Tagore Bengali edition

Published in 1935 in the translated form Patraput is one the last collections of poetry of Tagore. The literal meaning of the title is "a cup of leaves." The poems in this collection are the leaves shed by the poet's tree of life during his old age. The collection Patraput is a reminder of poet's mortality and the ever present balance of life and death.
