"Stray Birds" by Rabindranath Tagore is a collection of short poems from the early 1900s, focusing on elements of nature, affection, the journey of living and what it means to be human, all written in Tagore's unique style. The book encourages people to think about how beautiful mixed with how puzzling living can be, using strong images and thoughtful ideas.
