Gandhi's Telegram To Tagore on Being 80

 


When RabindranathTagore turned 80, (May 7,1941) Gandhi sent him a Telegram: 




"Four score is not enough. May you finish five." 





Tagore's reply was prompt: "Four score is enough. Five is intolerable,"



Someone wrote this - I had the good fortune to know of this Telegram when I visited Shanti Niketan and it's Museum a few weeks ago with my brother's family from Kolkata
