I would be extremely grateful if anyone can tell me if the following is by Tagore, and if so, where does it come from?

Unity in Diversity

'We are all the more one because we are many,
For we have made ample room for love in the gap where we are sundered.
Our unlikeness reveals its breadth of beauty radiant with one common life,
Like mountain peaks in the morning sun.'

Many thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Turned up your question as part of a search for same.

During an interview on BBC Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal party made this quote & described it as being from The celebration of diversity by Rabindranath Tagore.
Trust this helps.
In a sense, it reminds me of the shattered fragments of a hologram, all different but still reflecting the image of the original.
