Présentation de l'éditeur

Fireflies, or brief poems, originated in China and Japan and were often written on pieces of silk. This is a collection of proverbs, aphorisms and maxims. Collected by Rabindranath Tagore over many years, each firefly, rarely more than a sentence long, represents a luminous thought on love, life, beauty or God.
