:s1: Have any brothers read Gibran? What do you think of his poetry? I've read bits and it is very beautiful language that he employs. "The Prophet" in particular is very moving and spiritual. Interestingly, though Gibran was a Maronite Christian, he calls his 'prophet' alMustafa. What is his standing amongst the Arabs? In the West amongst the literatii he is something of a legend (like Umar Khayyam)...
