THE ATHENÆUM.—"Mr. Tagore's translations are of trance-like beauty. … The expanding sentiment of some of the poems wins, even through the alien medium of our English prose, a rhythm which in its strength and melody might recall familiar passages in the Psalms or Solomon's Song."
THE NATION.—"Only the classics of mystical literature provide a standard by which this handful of 'Song Offerings' can be appraised or understood. … From the point of view of pure literature, their high quality can hardly be contested; yet it is not mere literary excellence which their author has sought, nor is it here that their deepest interest lies. They are offerings, from finite to infinite oblations, as their creator holds that all art should be, laid upon the altar of the world."
THE DAILY NEWS.—"One of the most significant books that have appeared in our time. … They reveal a poet of undeniable authority and a spiritual influence singularly in touch with modern thought and modern needs.
