Tagore: Banquet Speech

Telegram from Tagore, read by Mr. Clive, British Charge d’Affaires, at the Nobel Banquet at Grand Hotel, Stockholm, 10 December 1913:

I beg to convey to the Swedish Academy my grateful appreciation of the breadth of understanding which has brought the distant near, and has made a stranger a brother.
