Anthology of brief "prose poems" by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), first published in 1928. Tagore wrote: "Fireflies had their origin in China and Japan where thoughts were very often claimed from me in my hand-writing on fans and pieces of silk." Tagore may have been influenced by Japanese haiku poetry. "Fireflies" has also been described as a collection of meditations.
