[quote=JIMMYB,281820]I just came accross a piece of prose poem, very beautiful and touching. It is said that it was written by Tagore and was included in Stray Bird. However, my friend told me it was written by Zhang Xiaoxian, a Tainwanese writer. Later on, a guy translated it into English. Whom should I believe?

Here is it.

The furthest distance in the world 
世界上最遥远的距离 
Is not between life and death 
不是生与死 
But when I stand in front of you 
而是 我就站在你面前 
Yet you don't know that I love you 
你却不知道我爱你 
The furthest distance in the world 
世界上最遥远的距离 
Is not when I stand in front of you 
不是 我就站在你面前 
Yet you can't see my love 
你却不知道我爱你 
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both 
而是 明明知道彼此相爱 
Yet cannot be together 
却不能在一起

The furthest distance in the world 
世界上最遥远的距离 
Is not being apart while being in love 
不是 明明知道彼此相爱 却不能在一起 
But when painly cannot resist the yearning 
而是 明明无法抵挡这股思念 
Yet pretending you have never been in my heart 
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里 
The furthest distance in the world 
世界上最遥远的距离 
Is not when painly cannot resist the yearning 
不是 明明无法抵挡这股思念
yet pretending you have never been in my heart
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里 
but using one's indifferent heart 
而是 用自己冷漠的心对爱你的人 
To dig an uncrossable river  
掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠 
For the one who loves you
