Vivekananda and Tagore

Vivekananda was a torrent of fire.

Tagore was a sea of beauty and delight.

Vivekananda was a Clarion-call.

Tagore was a soul-stirring Flute.

Both Narendranath (Vivekananda) and Rabindranath loved humanity much, the former speedily and the latter steadily.

Vivekananda says, in effect, "No time to linger. Awake, O India! and measure the loftiest Height with your dauntless head."

Tagore says in effect, "First look everywhere, and then to the Highest, O Ind, raise your proud head."
