摘要：Our object of study is Tagore’s dance drama Chitrangada which pivots on the theme of love and beauty. In the present paper we have undertaken an analysis of the vocabulary related to “eyes” or “vision” that figure in the songs and speeches of different characters of the play. We have attempted to demonstrate that through such a lexical analysis it is possible to highlight the role of eyes in different stages of development and progress of love, from the initial phase of craving for physical beauty to the stage of enlightenment where the inner eyes yearn for spiritual beauty. This study reveals an important aspect of the Tagorean conception of love and beauty. Key Words: love, beauty, eyes, vocabulary, lexical analysis.
