the 'Fist' & the 'Pacifist'
Though my soul may set in darkness, it shall rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night.

Rabindranath Tagore (affectionately Robbie T) didn’t receive the Nobel Prize in person. He sent a Telegram, by way of an acceptance speech.
Which was read by a Mr. Clive, the British Chargé d'Affaires, at the Nobel Banquet at the Grand Hôtel, Stockholm (December 10, 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.
