Khalil Gibran i stopped reading
coz to my mind he was only feeding
sorrow and pessimism and a helpless feeling
He has captured in his works eternal sorrow
His philosophy i cannot borrow

[Jerwittdergut]

let me 'splain you...everything is so ridiculous these days! but don't stop...keep rowing...

Friends,

I share a quote from Gibran:

"It were wiser to speak less of God, Whom we cannot understand, and more of each other, whom we may understand. Yet I would have you know that we are the breath and the fragrance of God. We are God, in leaf, in flower, and oftentimes in fruit."

I like his philosophy. If all of us can practise this, we will have more peace and happiness in this planet.

[avdddcxnelkaxz]

K. Gibran and M. Naimy, towering poets of the 20th century, children of God, distinguished citizens of the Universe, those attracted to their writings and art, are indeed a very special group of people, blessed with love and eternal by spirit. Now that both have left planet earth, their impulse is still strong, and getting stronger. Keep on enjoying the fruit of their labour of love forever.

Kahlil Gibrans Poetry was the advent of L4NZ,the greatest poet in the world.He is my prophet.

hope i could met Selma Karamy....see her beautiness..i m her secret admirer!!!

[Nubtoubrem]

i think every think is kidding

[mincbiori]

Gibran himself called the Broken Wings "a spiritual biography". The character Selma Karameh is said to represent a lady Sultana Tabit, with whom he had an affair in Lebanon.
For me, it 'll always be The Prophet, or The Madman. What 's the difference anyway.

I also have a question. He talks about "the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood".
See

I do not understand. Isn't this disattachment dangerous?

[piramirra]

Sweet like sugar is Gibran. So was Herman Hesse. Wonder if under the sublime is a storm, a brewing madness, an obsession with death, a raging fever that consumes them in their tempestuous personal lives. I have read The Prophet and liked it. That he lost his sister and himself to tuberculosis and mother to cancer, father to drinking, and ill-health dogging him may have something to do with the billiance of his works which is all he would want us to remember him by. Dark searing truths smolder to precious diamonds. Truth is beauty, beauty truth and both god. Men like him are not born every day. So sad is we dont see them even if they are amidst us. He does open our eyes.

Desire if half of life and indifference is half of death - Khalil Gibran.

[ChuttyAmult]

its still unbelievable to me that he wrote prophet in the age of 15 yrs.....talk to me of work master...poetry of the absolute.
his fables are so unfathomable.

[WoCTrt0X]

The only work I read by Kahlil Gibran is "The Prophet" ................oh I also read the one with his love/friendly letter to an american, not sure
