The youngest of thirteen surviving children, Tagore was born in the
Jorasanko mansion in Calcutta of parents Debendranath Tagore (1817-1905)
and Sarada Devi (1830-1875).Tagore family patriarchs were the Brahmo
founding fathers of the Adi Dharm faith. He was largely raised by servants, as
his mother had died in his early childhood; his father travelled extensively.
Tagore largely declined classroom schooling, preferring to roam the mansion
or explore idyllic vistas: Bolpur, Panihati, and others. After his upanayan
initiation at age eleven, Tagore left Calcutta on 14 February 1873 to tour
India with his father for several months. They visited his father's Santiniketan
estate and stopped in Amritsar before reaching the Himalayan hill station of
Dalhousie. There, young "Rabi" read biographies, studied history, astronomy,
modern science, and Sanskrit, and examined the classical poetry of Kālidāsa.
In 1877, he composed several major works, including a long poem set in the
Maithili style pioneered by Vidyapati. As a joke, he maintained that these
were the lost works of Bhānusiṃha, a newly discovered 17th-century
Vaiṣṇava poet.He also wrote "Bhikharini" (1877; "The Beggar Woman"—the
Bengali language's first short story) and Sandhya Sangit (1882) —including
the famous poem "Nirjharer Swapnabhanga"

Hungary, 1926: Bengali and English Gitanjali
Though known mostly for
his poetry, Tagore also
wrote novels, essays, short
stories, travelogues,
dramas, and thousands of
songs. Of Tagore's prose,
his short stories are perhaps
most highly regarded;
indeed, he is credited with
originating the Bengali-
language version of the
genre. His works are
frequently noted for their
rhythmic, optimistic, and
"Dancing Girl", an undated ink-
on-paper piece by Tagore. lyrical nature. Such stories
mostly borrow from
deceptively simple subject
matter:
Between 1878 and 1932, Tagore visited more than thirty countries on five
continents
In 1912, he took a sheaf of his translated works to England, where they
impressed missionary and Gandhi protégé Charles F. Andrews, Anglo-Irish
poet William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Robert Bridges, Ernest Rhys,
Thomas Sturge Moore, and others. Indeed, Yeats wrote the preface to the
English translation of Gitanjali, while Andrews joined Tagore at Santiniketan.
On 10 November 1912, Tagore toured the United States and the United
Kingdom
He wrote his Hibbert Lectures for the University of Oxford (which dealt with
the "idea of the humanity of our God, or the divinity of Man the Eternal")
and spoke at London's annual Quaker gathering.

Signature
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English
poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the
English language and the world's preeminent dramatist.He is often called
England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".His surviving works,
including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long
narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been
translated into every major living language and are performed more often
than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of
18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna,
and twins Hamlet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a
successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a
playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the
King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where
he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life
survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters
as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the
works attributed to him were written by others.[4]
William Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glove
and alderman originally from Snitterfield, and Mary Arden, the daughter o
affluent landowning farmer.[7] He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and
baptised on 26 April 1564. His actual birthdate is unknown, but is traditio
observed on 23 April, St George's Day.[8] This date, which can be traced
back to an eighteenth-century scholar's mistake, has proved appealing
because Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616.[9] He was the third child of
eight and the eldest surviving son
