About Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931), a poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age. But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages. His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world. In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English. His most famous work is The Prophet, a book of twenty-six poetic essays that explore some of the mysteries of life.

Kahlil Gibran's words need to be felt, not analyzed. Here is a snippet... When my sorrow was born When my sorrow was born I nursed it with care, and watched over it with loving tenderness.

I have always heard praise of Kahlil Gibran's work, and now I understand why. The hour (or less) which I spent reading this book has been magical.
