TO WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS ON TAGORE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: It is made clear by the phrase
Last Line: Outshines ordinary jewels, is your praise.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Tagore, Rabindranath, Sir (1861-1941); Yeats, William Butler (1865-1939)


IT is made clear by the phrase,
Even the mood—by virtue of which he says

The thing he thinks—that it pays,
To cut gems even in these conscience-less days;

But the jewel that always
Outshines ordinary jewels, is your praise.
