Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets.
The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age.
But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages.
His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake.
In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English.
The Prophet and his other books of poetry, illustrated with his mystical drawings, are known and loved by innumerable Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of man's heart and mind.

纪伯伦《先知》经典语句摘录 《船来了》:请不要让我们的眼睛因渴望见到你的面容而酸痛。 《爱》:爱,不占有也不被占有。因为,爱在爱中满足了。你付出爱时,不要说“上帝在我心中”,而应该说“我在上帝心中”。而且不要以为你可以为爱指引方向,因为,若爱认为你够资格...

评分 评分看到一篇《纽约客》关于纪伯伦的八卦文,作者援引了两部纪伯伦传记来证明:纪伯伦是个彻头彻尾的失败者和伪君子,《先知》也不过是另一部取巧的《心灵鸡汤》。 Joan Acocella——一位职业舞评人——的文字利落,简练,生动,画面感极强,直指痛处,好吧我承认对此我只有羡慕嫉...

In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
评分不厚的诗集,却在越排越满的schedule下读了快一个月才读完。幸而有这样深挚的灵魂,使人不致沉沦越发现实的迷思。
评分认真读下来我觉得最近纠结的所有问题都解决了。生命甘泉。
评分I have reached an age where spiritual books can't break me into tears anymore. But I reckon I can still take comfort from the fact that at least they can help me finish my sandwich 。_。
评分已经读不了文了吧...还是去理中藏身罢
