    Law is the first step towards liberty according to Tagore. While poetry is bound by strict laws, it is through following these laws that an artist's work can achieve complete liberation and stand as a work of beauty. This synthesis between law and liberty in literature is achieved through suggestion, the extraordinary significative power of works of art, where even ordinary sentences contain some artistic element as a result of the inherent artistic ability within all intelligent beings, developing an idea from Jesperson's "The Philosophy of Grammar."

    Literary law and liberty

    According to Tagore, law is the first step towards liberty. The beauty of a poem is bound by strict law
    and beauty of a work stands on the pedestal of law and it gives a complete liberation of the artist's
    genius.

    Synthesis between literary law and liberty achieved through vyanjana - suggestion - extraordinary
    significative power which all works of art possess. Ordinary sentence has some artistic element in it,
    that is the result of the inherent artistic capacity that every intelligent being possesses. This idea is
    developed by Jesperson in "The Philosophy of Grammar."
