Indian poet, playwright, philosopher and author (1861–1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 9 x 11.5, July 14, 1916. Letter to a fellow poet, Mr. Speight. In full: “Your letter gave me genuine delight. I feel an impulse to come to you and have an intimate talk, You have loved these people among whom you are living and that draws my heart towards you. You have the vision to see truth and the heart to love it. This is the quality that Rothenstein has in such large measure—and that has made him dear to me. Your poems have come to me carrying such rich simplicity and truth of your soul. I feel I understand them and come nearer to you.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a uniform shade of light toning. RRAuction COA.
