Guenon had much respect for Shakespeare but understood that the West can never achieve the spiritual heights and inner perfection of the East. So he viewed Shakespeare as a tragic figure who is divided internally because of his inability to return to god.

Writing like (or better than) Shakespeares is really quite common in the Hindu tradition but Westerners lack Sanskrit knowledge and don't generally know this.

Post some passages (I admit, they need to be translated: I can’t understand sanskrit) that are as good or superior to the poetry of Shakespeare’s plays.

I have read Kalidasa (again, in translation) and it doesn’t come anywhere near the best in Shakespeare. Also, take note that Shakespeare translates very well because his poetic gifts are far more dependent on the imagery (that can be literally translated) than the sound of the poetry. That’s a personal view, but to me the imagery is far more important than sound and rhythm in poetry. Merely musical poets are never the best poets.

Honestly, I’m curious about this moments of glory in Hindu poetry.

The Mahabharata combines Upanishadic-like unfolding of metaphysical doctrines with a vast plot and the array of characters in it that in their own stories say meaningful and poetic things about humans and their lives. There isn't anything else quite like it and in some places it is indeed better then Shakespeare

if you are more interested in his 'metaphysics', then read 'Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta', 'The Symbolism of the Cross', and the 'Multiple States of the Being' in that order. If you are interested more in his critique of modern society then 'Crisis of the Modern World' and 'Reign of Quantity'
