    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.

    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

    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.

    Well, he is a great writer. I have some questions:

    1. What is the correct name: Khalil or Kahlil Gibran?

    2. Has he ever changed his religion?

    Thank you.

    Hadinoto

    I believe "The Prophet" to be one of Gibran's greatest works because he speaks from the heart of truth, love and understanding. Through patience, love and understanding we find wisdom. For me, this work is akin to a bible because he was really "in touch" with the "divine source" of all things. His beautiful quotes from "The Prophet" stay with me always, such as ..."A man and a woman should be like the strings of a harp, each one seperate, vibrating with its own sound, but together making music." Also, when the Prophet spoke on good and evil..."Of the good in you I can speak, but not the evil. For what is "evil" but "good" tortured by its own hunger and thirst? And when "good" hungers and thirsts, it will search in dark caves and drink even of dead waters." In these words we can find divine compassion, love and understanding for all human beings. If you only read "The Prophet" once, read it again and again because the words are love made visible.
