Thoughts and Meditations

This collection of thoughts by Kahlil Gibran demonstrates three major aspects of his genius: the fiery prophet, assailing the corruptions of Syrian governmental and upper social circles with the wrath and scorn of Biblical seers; the poet of love, apostophizing beauty, youth, and nature, particularly the wonderful vistas of Lebanon in poetry of passionate tenderness; and the author of the remarkable poetic narratives in which Gibran's mystical, spiritual vision of the transmigration of souls is embodied in tales of lovers tragically parted in one existence and rapturously reunited, after centuries of separation, in a later incarnation. **Lightning Print On Demand TitleCopyright © Libri GmbH.
