Where The Mind Is Without Fear

by Rabindranath Tagore

In "Where The Mind Is Without Fear" by Rabindranath Tagore, the author creates the poem in free verse; the poem is structured with no rhyme, no regular rhythm, all in one single sentence. Tagore uses metaphors, comparing "reason" to a clear stream, and "dreary desert sand of dead habit" with old superstitious practices that lack logic. Tagore also uses personification for "tireless striving", stating that one's goals for the ideal country and freedom would be reached after much struggle. He wants to convey the message that the mind can only be free without fear, and focuses on the need for knowledge and independence.
