To perceive the human world in co-existence with nature and thereby to nurture freedom and constructive processes we need to rethink the transformative literature of Rabindranath Tagore, who explored an environment conscious, almost ecocritical vision of human existence inspiring a “deep ecological” sense of identification with the immediate environment. Tagore’s philosophy of nature with its wide range and variety reifies the real possibility of ‘living, learning and uniting oneself’ with the “organic wholeness of nature”. The relationship between the man and nature remains interwoven in his writings promoting an intimate, interdependent relationship revealing “the deepest harmony that existed between man and his surroundings”. The paper dealing with Tagore’s simplest collection of poetry The Crescent Moon in particular lays emphasis on the relationship of the mother and the child developing out of his traumatic experiences of childhood namely losing his mother quite at an early age and his subsequent identification with nature as an ‘alternative mother-principle’ Nature confers a psychological closure by connecting him with Mother Nature (my italics) “mother nature you have taken me in your affectionate embrace and have begun to sing your imposing music to me rich in harmony and melody”. Nature removed from the crudity of its daily entanglements activated within him a spirit of companionship and receptivity revealing to him “the deepest harmony that existed between him and his surroundings”. KeywordsMothernature, symbiotic-coexistence, alternative-mother principle. What is beautiful is beneficent: O goddess Nature, in your beauteous world No harm can ever happen. – Tagore Tagore’s The Crescent Moon, one of his simplest and personally meaningful works emphasize the tender and the symbiotic relationship dwelling between the mother and the child. This relationship remains the central focus, particularly harping on the traumatic experiences in a child’s internal world upon losing his mother at an early childhood age. The child’s initial attempt to mitigate his eternal loss reflects to a series of mourning reactions, finally reconciling his loss in an attempt to create an ‘alternative world.’ This ‘alternative world’ may be Nature which relieves him, at least temporarily, from the pressures and involvements of his ordinary practical pursuits.

Even though Tagore’s diction is written in the words of a fictionalized self, the recurrent emphasis through many of his poems and the depth of the inner feelings bear a replica of his real lifeexperiences. Losing his mother at a tender age made him suffer unusual deprivation in midst of wealth and cultural opulence. Contextual reference can be drawn from Tagore’s own recollection of his mother’s death: “When my mother died, I was quite a child. She had been ailing for quite a long time when her malady had taken a fatal turn. She used all along to sleep on a separate bed in the same room with us. Then in the course of her illness she was taken for a boat trip on the river, and on her return a room on the third floor of the inner apartments was set apart for her. On the night she died, we were fast asleep in our downstairs. At what hour I cannot tell, our nurse ran in weeping and crying “Oh, my little ones, you have lost all!” My sister-in-law rebuked her, and led away, to save us the sudden shock at dead of night. Half awakened by her words, I felt my heart sink within me, but could not make out what had happened. When in the morning we were told of her death. I could not realize all that it meant for me.” It was only years later that Tagore wrote a poem about his mother’s death. “The Home”, the first poem in The Crescent Moon, which speaks of his heartbreak at having lost her with a dendrolatrous image of earth’s motherland embracing his soul:

泰戈尔《新月》中的自然与自我反思

为了感知与自然共存的人类世界，从而培养自由和建设性过程，我们需要重新思考泰戈尔的变革性文学，他探索了一种具有环境意识、几乎生态批判的人类生存愿景，激发了“深层生态”意识。与直接环境的认同。泰戈尔的自然哲学范围广泛，种类繁多，用“自然的有机整体性”将“生活、学习和自我结合”的真实可能性具体化。人与自然之间的关系在他的作品中仍然交织在一起，促进了一种亲密、相互依存的关系，揭示了“人与周围环境之间存在的最深层次的和谐”。这篇关于泰戈尔最简单的诗集《新月》的论文特别强调了从童年创伤经历中发展出来的母子关系，即在很小的时候就失去了母亲，以及他随后对自然的认同。 '另类母亲原则' 大自然通过将他与大自然联系起来（我的斜体字），赋予了一种心理上的封闭感，“大自然您将我拥抱在您深情的怀抱中，并开始为我唱出充满和谐和旋律的雄伟音乐”。大自然摆脱了日常纠缠的粗暴，激发了他内心的一种陪伴和接受的精神，向他揭示了“他与周围环境之间存在的最深层次的和谐”。关键词大自然，共生共存，替代母亲原则。美丽是仁慈的：大自然女神啊，在你美丽的世界里，伤害永远不会发生。– 泰戈尔 泰戈尔的《新月》是他最简单且具有个人意义的作品之一，强调母子之间的温柔和共生关系。这种关系仍然是中心焦点，尤其是在童年早期失去母亲时，孩子内心世界的创伤经历。孩子最初试图减轻他永恒的损失，反映了一系列的哀悼反应，最终和解他的损失，试图创造一个“另类世界”。这个“另类世界”可能是自然，它至少暂时将他从日常实际追求的压力和卷入中解脱出来。自然，从其平凡的纠缠中移除，为他提供了“为他提供”-人文学科跨学科研究的 Rupkatha 期刊 (ISSN 0975-2935)，由科学网、Scopus、DOAJ、ERIHPLUS 特别会议期（第 12 卷，第 5 期，2020 年）索引。 1-6) 来自第一届 Rupkatha 跨学科人文学科最新进展国际公开会议 (rioc.rupkatha.com) 全文：http://rupkatha.com/V12/n5/rioc1s10n1.pdf DOI：https://dx.doi .org/10.21659/rupkatha.v12n5.rioc1s10n1 2 Rupkatha 期刊，卷。2020 年第 12 期第 5 期“另类”或一种“现象学”性质来维持他的“灵魂在她的怀抱中，而不会错过任何光线、空气、风景、温暖和庇护所”泰戈尔的著作包括图像和独特的错觉。尽管泰戈尔的措辞是用虚构的自己的话写成的，他的许多诗中反复强调的内容和内心情感的深度是他真实生活经历的复制品。年幼时失去母亲，使他在财富和文化富裕中遭受了不寻常的剥夺。上下文参考可以从泰戈尔自己对他母亲去世的回忆中得出：“当我母亲去世时，我还是个孩子。当她的疾病发生致命转变时，她已经病了很长时间。她过去一直和我们睡在同一个房间的单独床上。然后在她生病期间，她被带到河上乘船游览，在她回来时，内部公寓三楼的一个房间为她分开。她去世的那天晚上，我们在楼下睡着了。我不知道在什么时候，我们的护士哭着跑了进来，“哦，我的孩子们，你已经失去了一切！” 嫂子斥责了她，拉着走，免得我们夜深人静时突然惊魂未定。被她的话给惊醒了，我的心在沉入其中，却无法弄清楚发生了什么事。早上我们被告知她的死讯。我无法意识到这对我来说意味着什么。” 几年后，泰戈尔写了一首关于他母亲去世的诗。“家”，《新月》中的第一首诗，讲述了他失去她的心碎，地球祖国拥抱他的灵魂的树状形象：几年后，泰戈尔写了一首关于他母亲去世的诗。“家”，《新月》中的第一首诗，讲述了他失去她的心碎，地球祖国拥抱他的灵魂的树状形象：几年后，泰戈尔写了一首关于他母亲去世的诗。“家”，《新月》中的第一首诗，讲述了他失去她的心碎，地球祖国拥抱他的灵魂的树状形象：
