Smoke boasts to the sky, and Ashes to the earth, that they are brothers to the fire. 青烟对天空夸口，灰烬对大地夸口，都以为它们是火的兄弟。

第二百三十七篇

              Stray Birds       By Rabindranath Tagore  "Stray Birds" contains ideas on nature, man, and his environment as may be entertained by a man sitting by a window where the stray birds of summer sing and fly away. These short, sometimes merely one-line poems are often just an image or the distillation of a thought, but they stay in the mind and do not fly away as easily as the birds. The author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a Nobel laureate for literature (1913) as well as one of India's greatest poets and the composer of independent India's national anthem, as well as that of Bangladesh. He wrote successfully in all literary genres, but was first and foremost a poet, publishing more than 50 volumes of poetry. He was a Bengali writer who was born in Calcutta and later traveled around the world.          “飞鸟集”包含了大自然、人类和他的思想环境，一个坐在窗户旁的人，在那里，夏天的飞鸟唱着歌，飞走了。这些短的，有时仅仅是一句诗，往往只是一个形象或一个思想的升华，但他们留在心里，像不容易飞走的鸟。作者拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔是诺贝尔文学奖得主（1913年），也是印度最伟大的诗人之一，是独立的印度国歌和孟加拉国国歌的作曲家。他在各种文学体裁上都写得很成功，但他首先是一位诗人，出版了50多卷诗歌。他是一位孟加拉作家，出生于加尔各答，后来周游世界。
