The Prophet

Fading, chips and scuffing to jacket. Foxing.

'AE' George Russell wrote:
'I do not think the East has spoken with so beautiful a voice since the Gitanjali of Rabindranath Tagore as in THE PROPHET of Kahlil Gibran, who is artist as well as poet. I have not seen for years a book more beautiful in its thought, and when reading it I understand better than ever before what Socrates meant in the Banquet when he spoke of the beauty of thought which exercises a deeper enchantment than the beauty of form... I could quote from every page, and from every page I could find some beautiful and liberating thought.'
