在世界文学史上，有很多经典文章值得传颂，表达着人类某种心声。就如泰戈尔，他用优美的语言，讲述爱情，讲述人间美好与凄凉。《摩可摩耶》的那种故事，其实在世界很多角落依然发生，人们注重的是美的外表，当这表象的美不存在的时候，很多事情会随之改变。自尊与承诺是人类的基本需要，这些东西一旦被打破，生命很可能都失去意义。《喀布尔人》讲述的则是人类平等的故事，并没有哪个种族高于其他种族的天然。《劳动者的天堂》则给人们描述了艺术对人类的重要性。
泰戈尔最为吸引人的就是那优美的文字。在国内有很多关于泰戈尔文字的翻译，可能还是冰心翻译的一稿最为优美。

英文版原文：
The Furthest Distance in the world ------ Tagore
The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don't know that
I love you.
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when I stand in front of you
Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot be together.
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when I plainly cannot resist the yearning
Yet pretending you have never been in my heart.
The furthest distance in the world
Is not struggling against the tides
But using one's indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you

《世界上最远的距离》泰戈尔------------翻译美化后的中文版真美
世界上最远的距离
不是生与死的距离
而是我站在你的面前
你却不知道我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是我站在你的面前
你却不知道我爱你
而是爱到痴迷
却不能说我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是我不能说我爱你
而是想你痛彻心脾
却只能深埋心底
世界上最远的距离
不是我不能说我想你
而是彼此相爱
却不能够在一起
世界上最远的距离
不是彼此相爱
却不能在一起
而是明明无法抵挡这一股气息
却还得装作毫不在意
世界上最远的距离，
不是明明无法抵挡这一股气息
却还得装作毫不在意
而是用一颗冷漠的心
在你和爱你的人之间
掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
世界上最远的距离
不是树与树的距离
而是同根生长的树枝
却无法在风中相依
世界上最远的距离
不是树枝无法相依
而是相互了望的星星
却没有交汇的轨迹
世界上最远的距离
不是星星之间的轨迹
而是纵然轨迹交汇
却在转瞬间无处寻觅
世界上最远的距离
不是瞬间便无处寻觅
而是尚未相遇
便注定无法相聚
世界上最远的距离
是鱼与飞鸟的距离
一个在天
一个却深潜海底

根据中文译成英文：
The most distant way in the world
The most distant way in the world
is not the way from birth to the end.
it is when i sit near you
that you don't understand i love u.
The most distant way in the world
is not that you're not sure i love u.
It is when my love is bewildering the soul
but i can't speak it out.
The most distant way in the world
is not that i can't say i love u.
it is after looking into my heart
i can't change my love.
The most distant way in the world
is not that i'm loving u.
it is in our love
we are keeping between the distance.
The most distant way in the world
is not the distance across us.
it is when we're breaking through the way
we deny the existance of love.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in two distant trees.
it is the same rooted branches
can't enjoy the co-existance.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in the being sepearated branches.
it is in the blinking stars
they can't burn the light.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the burning stars.
it is after the light
they can't be seen from afar.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the light that is fading away.
it is the coincidence of us
is not supposed for the love.
So the most distant way in the world
is the love between the fish and bird.
one is flying at the sky,
the other is looking upon into the sea.
