“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”
— Rabindranath TagoreGitanjali (1910), poem 61 (Tagore's English translation)
Commentary
Faith, in Tagore's image, perceives the coming light before it is visible. The metaphor treats trust as an active sensitivity to what is not yet apparent.
