Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese poet and this particular book is his most famous. It was first published in the U.S. in 1923 and has been translated into 100 languages.
I have had many reasons in recent years to ponder Khalil Gibran's "What is evil, but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst"... I´m not sure how it says in english but I hope you know what I mean.
I was reading his interesting verses, and I remember this: And don't forget, my friends, that the leaves only sing when they are separated from the branch!
Hi Tammy, long time no see! About a hundred years ago, when I was taking voice lessons, K Gibran was the author of some poetry my instructor had me sing. It was beautiful. Glad to see you’re still thriving, crocheting and saving kitties.

I know of Gibran but haven’t read his works in full--still, some of his quotes have stayed with me.
They’re simple yet so deep. 💖
