Professional Reviews
|
| : |
New York Times Book Review: "It is a slim volume of fewer than 20,000 words, in which its hero, Almustafa (Gibran), at the invitation of his muse, Almitra (Mary Haskell), tells the people of Orphalese (New York) what he really thinks about everything. Its poems are incantatory and willfully symbolic, and they resonate of Blake, Yeats, the King James Bible, Laotzu and, occasionally, the off-kilter whimsy of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa." |

ON CHILDREN And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.<BR> You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. |
