> Key figures in Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore.

- [The Poet](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/gitanjali_se/characters/narrator.md): A restless seeker who turns railway carriages and crowded streets into altars, addressing the divine as lover, master, and guest.
- [Rabindranath Tagore](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/gitanjali_se/characters/rabindranath_tagore.md): The Bengali poet who carried his own manuscript through trains and omnibuses, closing it only to hide how deeply his own songs moved him.
- [The Divine](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/gitanjali_se/characters/divine_presence.md): The beloved addressed as Thou—present in conch shells, July rain, and a lute-player drifting in a boat, yet never fully possessed.
